2,595 residents · postal code 2806 · Part of Kort Haarlem, Gouda
Everything close by, little space
The Kadenbuurt is within walking range of both the station and the town centre, good for a 9.4 for amenities, and is left with a 3.8 for safety. Burglary and property crime sit above the national median, vandalism too; only violence sits exactly on it. So this is not a neighbourhood where things go wrong on the street, but one where break-ins happen regularly.
The 4.5 for wealth & income is more divided than the figure suggests. The share of high incomes is just above the national median, the share of low incomes just below, and vacancy is minimal — but property value lags far behind and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the median. Quiet & nature gets no further than 3.5, at a density of more than ten thousand residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kadenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kadenbuurt comes out at 31 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 Kadenbuurt?
In Kadenbuurt the police recorded 113 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Kadenbuurt calculated?
Kadenbuurt scores 4.5 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 Kadenbuurt 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.
