Cadier

Safe, but few children
Cadier scores above average on almost every pillar and drops on one: families, with a 5.3. Distance is not the cause, since the primary school is seven hundred metres away. The share of children is small here, and nearly one in three residents is 65 or over. That is what the score shows — not that something is missing from the neighbourhood.
The wealth & income column is divided, which is why it earns a 6.3 and no more. Property value sits practically on the national middle, the share of high incomes above it, the share of low incomes just below, and vacancy exactly on it. No single component pulls hard; it is the sum of four small steps.
What does set the area apart is the combination of a 9.1 for safety with plenty of greenery within three hundred metres and a low density: violence is rare here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cadier a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Cadier comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Cadier is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Cadier?
In Cadier the police recorded 63 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Cadier calculated?
Cadier scores 9.0 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 Cadier 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.
