Everything for children close by, and little room

Kampen-Zuid reaches a 9.7 while wealth & income, at 4.6, is the lowest of the five pillars. That is explainable: property value is a good hundred thousand below the national median, the share of high incomes well below it and social assistance above it. Only vacancy is minimal.

The engine of the high overall score lies elsewhere. Safety and families both stand just short of ten: reported offences come to two thirds of the national middle with burglary all but absent, and the primary school is three hundred metres away in a neighbourhood where more than four in ten households have children.

The 4.6 for quiet & nature coincides with a share of greenery in the immediate surroundings well under the national middle. What this place offers is proximity, not space.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kampen-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Kampen-Zuid?

In Kampen-Zuid the police recorded 43 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 Kampen-Zuid calculated?

Kampen-Zuid scores 9.7 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 Kampen-Zuid 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.
