Safe streets, thinner wallets
Slagharen Kern reaches an 8.1 for amenities without a railway station nearby — that is ten kilometres off. Supermarket, GP, restaurant and primary school are all five hundred metres away, and together those four weigh heavily enough to make up for most of the missing train.
The 3.8 for wealth & income is the figure keeping the village at an overall 8.1 rather than higher. Property value far below the national median, a thin top income group, a broad bottom one and social assistance above the median; only vacancy sits exactly on the national figure. Safety, by contrast, stands excellent at 9.4: none of the recorded offence types rises above the national median.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Slagharen Kern?
In Slagharen Kern the police recorded 46 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Slagharen Kern calculated?
Slagharen Kern scores 8.1 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 Slagharen Kern 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.
