Everything close by, little to spend

A third of households in Camminghaburen-Noord have children, and still the families score stops at 5.8. The primary school is fourteen hundred metres away, and school and childcare distance together make up nearly two thirds of that pillar — with children of cycling age you notice that every morning.

The wealth & income pillar shows something you would not expect where seven in ten homes are owner-occupied. The property value is far below the national median and the social assistance rate more than four times above it. Ownership and wealth do not move together here. The 5.0 for safety hides a difference of the same kind. Total reported offences are below the national median and property crime far below it, but burglaries are more than three times above it, and that component alone carries a quarter of the pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Camminghaburen-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Camminghaburen-Noord comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Camminghaburen-Noord?

In Camminghaburen-Noord the police recorded 111 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Camminghaburen-Noord calculated?

Camminghaburen-Noord scores 3.7 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 Camminghaburen-Noord 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.
