Everything close by, little to spend

Property value in Chevremont is less than half the national median. That is the single biggest explanation for a 2.7 on wealth & income, but not the only one: the top income group here is half the national size and the rate of social assistance almost six times as high. Only vacancy sits exactly on the national median.

Among the offences the emphasis lies elsewhere than a figure like this would suggest. Property crime and vandalism are below the national median and burglary is exactly on it. It is violence that stands out, and that weighs more heavily in the safety pillar than any other type.

For a neighbourhood scoring this low on wealth, its reachability is striking. The station is seven hundred metres away, restaurant and GP closer still, and that produces an 8.8 for amenities.

Frequently asked questions

Is Chevremont a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Chevremont comes out at 30 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 Chevremont?

In Chevremont the police recorded 107 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Chevremont calculated?

Chevremont scores 4.1 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 Chevremont 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.
