Everything close by, little to spend

Coevering scores a 7.7 for quiet even though it is densely populated here: almost four thousand residents per square kilometre. That is possible because greenery and tree canopy within three hundred metres both lie well above the national average, and those two together weigh more heavily than the population density itself. Only the noise level works against it.

The 3.5 for wealth does not come from property values alone. The share of households with a high income is around half of what is usual nationally, almost half of households have a low income instead, and social assistance use runs a multiple above the Dutch figure.

The safety figure of 3.6 stands apart from that: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are all four more common than is usual nationally. That is a different pattern from a neighbourhood where only bicycles disappear.

Frequently asked questions

Is Coevering a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Coevering comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Coevering?

In Coevering the police recorded 178 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Coevering calculated?

Coevering scores 4.7 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 Coevering 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.
