School close by, shops further off
Campen is a neighbourhood where the distances point in every direction. The primary school is four hundred metres away, the supermarket under a kilometre, but the GP is almost three kilometres off and the station nearly as far. That gap explains why the families pillar reaches a 9.4 while amenities stalls at 5.5: the two pillars measure different destinations.
On safety, an 8.5, violence, property crime and vandalism all stay below the national middle. Only burglary edges above it, and against this low total of reports that is not a large number.
The quiet & nature pillar reaches a 5.6 despite readings that are not unfavourable in themselves: greenery and tree canopy sit above the median and noise barely exceeds it. What holds the score down is population density, which counts for as much in this pillar as the greenery you can see.

Frequently asked questions
Is Campen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Campen comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Campen is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Campen?
In Campen the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Campen calculated?
Campen scores 9.3 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 Campen 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.
