Everything close by, except school and childcare
The wealth & income pillar of Coendersborg tells two things at once. The share of high incomes sits well above the national middle and the share of low incomes clearly below it; on income this neighbourhood does well. Even so the score stalls at a 5.2, and that is down to property value, which lies far under the national median and on its own determines almost four of the pillar's ten points.
The 5.0 for families has a simpler cause. The primary school here is more than a kilometre away, and school distance is the heaviest component of that pillar. The GP too is further off than usual, though it does not count towards it.
On safety the picture is mixed: burglary hardly occurs here, while violence, property crime and vandalism all three sit above the national middle. That burglary is rare keeps the score at a 6.5.

Frequently asked questions
Is Coendersborg a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Coendersborg comes out at 25 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 Coendersborg?
In Coendersborg the police recorded 98 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Coendersborg calculated?
Coendersborg scores 6.2 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 Coendersborg 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.
