Everything for children close by, and little room
The Stationskwartier in Kampen was built entirely after 2000, and the figures show it, though not in the way you might expect. The 3.2 for quiet & nature comes from noise exposure, well above the national middle, and from density; greenery within three hundred metres is in fact more generous than average.
The name holds up: the station is half a kilometre away, the supermarket and a restaurant closer still. One amenity breaks that pattern, and it is the GP at more than two and a half kilometres — the longest distance on the list, in a neighbourhood where everything else is around the corner.
The safety score of 6.4 rests on property crime, which comes in well above the median. Violence is slightly above it, burglary and vandalism below.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stationskwartier a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Stationskwartier comes out at 28 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 Stationskwartier?
In Stationskwartier the police recorded 61 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Stationskwartier calculated?
Stationskwartier scores 7.5 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 Stationskwartier 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.
