Kronehoef

Everything close by, little space
Kronehoef has its nearest GP four hundred metres away and the station just over a kilometre — a 9.2 for amenities. Every other figure in this neighbourhood is below four, and that contrast is the whole story.
On crime, all four types point above the national median, violence at more than twice it and vandalism at more than double. So no single type carries this figure on its own; it is the sum.
The wealth pillar is less clear-cut than the 3.5 suggests. The share of households in the top income group sits exactly on the national median and so points nowhere; what drags the pillar down are the property value, the vacancy rate and a social assistance figure at more than four times the middle. Six in ten households here consist of one person.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kronehoef a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kronehoef comes out at 48 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kronehoef is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Kronehoef?
In Kronehoef the police recorded 292 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (48 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 Kronehoef calculated?
Kronehoef scores 2.9 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 Kronehoef 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.
