Everything close by, little to spend
The nearest railway station is almost thirteen kilometres from Haaksbergen Kern-1, and that is the only real concession this neighbourhood makes on amenities; everything done on foot — shopping, GP, restaurant, school — is within seven hundred metres. The 8.4 for that pillar therefore comes despite an entirely absent rail link.
A third of residents are over 65, against twelve percent under fifteen, and more than four in ten households consist of one person. That is a markedly old population, and with that age profile walking distance counts for more than any score shows. Among the offences burglary stands out — three times the national median — while violence sits at a third of the middle and theft slightly below it.

The comparison figure above (26 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Haaksbergen Kern-1 lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
