Safe, but few children
The sharpest contrast in Kern Neer is between what adults have close by and what children lack. The supermarket, the doctor and a restaurant are all within a kilometre, which lifts the amenities pillar to 7.6. The primary school is further away, and because school distance together with childcare and secondary education accounts for almost two thirds of the families pillar, that one stays at 3.7.
The 4.9 for wealth & income comes almost entirely from property values, which are clearly below the national median. The rest of that picture is unremarkable: social assistance is at the national midpoint, vacancy below it, and only the top income group is thinner than average. Buying a house here costs less than elsewhere without the neighbourhood being poorer.
Neer is not unsafe. Theft stays well below the national midpoint and violence too is less common than average; only vandalism sits marginally above.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kern Neer a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kern Neer comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Kern Neer 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 Kern Neer?
In Kern Neer the police recorded 48 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 Kern Neer calculated?
Kern Neer scores 6.1 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 Kern Neer 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.
