2,525 residents · postal code 7691 · Part of Bergentheim, Hardenberg
Safe streets, thinner wallets
Bergentheim Kern is among the safest neighbourhoods in the Netherlands at 9.9, and that score is earned across the board: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism each sit below the national midpoint, with burglary close to zero.
The wealth & income pillar points the other way, at 4.0. Property values are well below the national median, the share of high incomes is about half of it, there are more low incomes than average and social assistance is one and a half times as common. This neighbourhood is safe and green, but not wealthy.
That the total still comes out at 9.5 is down to quiet & nature and families: plenty of greenery, little noise, a short school distance and more than four in ten households with children. Only for a restaurant do you have to drive kilometres here.

How much crime is there in Bergentheim Kern?
In Bergentheim Kern the police recorded 27 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Bergentheim Kern lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
