Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The supermarket in Kern Angeren is four hundred metres away, the GP nearly two kilometres and the station eight. That is the pattern of a village that does its own groceries and fetches everything else elsewhere; the amenities pillar therefore gets no further than a 6.4.
The safety score of 8.3 holds up almost right across the board: burglary, theft and vandalism are below the national median and violence sits exactly on it. That last one points nowhere — it is not low, it is simply average.
Greenery and quiet lift the quiet & nature pillar, a thin tree canopy and the absence of open water hold it back; hence the 5.7. Wealth & income points in no single direction either: lower property values, a wider bottom income group than nationally and social assistance above the middle, but hardly any vacancy.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kern Angeren a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kern Angeren comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Kern Angeren?
In Kern Angeren the police recorded 41 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 Angeren calculated?
Kern Angeren scores 7.9 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 Angeren 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.
