Everything for children close by, and little room
Supermarket, GP and primary school in Heinenoord Woonkern are all within six hundred metres, but the railway station is more than nine kilometres away. That gap explains why the amenities pillar stops at a 7.0 while daily life here is organised within walking distance.
The safety score is built from opposites. Violence and theft sit clearly below the national median, burglary and vandalism above it. Because violence is the heaviest component, the pillar still ends up above the national middle — anyone looking here for personal safety is looking at the most favourable part of the score.
On wealth & income the components do not point the same way. The share of high incomes is above the national picture, the share of low incomes below it and vacancy is minimal, but property value stays below the national median and the social assistance rate runs well above it. This is not a wealthy neighbourhood and not a poor one.

Frequently asked questions
Is Heinenoord Woonkern a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Heinenoord Woonkern comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Heinenoord Woonkern?
In Heinenoord Woonkern the police recorded 71 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Heinenoord Woonkern calculated?
Heinenoord Woonkern scores 7.6 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 Heinenoord Woonkern 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.
