Everything close by, little space

Kroon has more recorded offences than the average Dutch neighbourhood and yet a 6.8 for safety. The breakdown explains it: violence, burglary and vandalism are all three below the national middle, only theft is above. Because violence and burglary together determine almost sixty per cent of that pillar and the raw total only a small part, the figure comes out higher than the overall count suggests.

The 4.5 for quiet & nature is more striking. Building density is low by Dutch standards, but the noise level is well above the median and the greenery around it just below it; those two pull the figure down. Wealth & income hovers around the middle at a 5.1, with a property value below the national median and an income distribution almost on it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kroon a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kroon comes out at 34 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 Kroon?

In Kroon the police recorded 121 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Kroon calculated?

Kroon scores 6.6 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 Kroon 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.
