Safe, but not spacious

Klaphek scores 4.2 for families, and that comes from two directions at once. The nearest primary school is more than a kilometre away — distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar — and the share of households with children is clearly below what is usual nationally; almost half of all households here consist of one person.

The 3.6 for quiet & nature is a noise story. The measured level is almost six decibels above the national median, and the green in the immediate surroundings stays far below it. Among offences, what stands out is that the total remains just below the national median while vandalism is nearly double it; violence and burglary are both below. That is the pattern of damage to property, not of violence on the street.

Frequently asked questions

Is Klaphek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Klaphek comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Klaphek?

In Klaphek the police recorded 66 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.

How is the grade for Klaphek calculated?

Klaphek scores 3.9 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Klaphek lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
