Safe streets, thinner wallets

All four types of offence in Kern Doornenburg sit below the national median: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism, without exception. Such an even picture is rarer than a high safety score suggests, because usually one category skews the rest. Not here, and that is where the 9.3 comes from.

The 5.0 for wealth & income is the counterweight. Property value below the national median, a social assistance rate at almost double, and a thinner top income group all point the same way; this is not a score pushed down by a single outlier. What the neighbourhood lacks in practice is the railway: the nearest station is more than nine kilometres away, while school, supermarket and doctor are all around the corner. Anyone living here without a car notices it mainly outside the village.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kern Doornenburg a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Kern Doornenburg?

In Kern Doornenburg the police recorded 25 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Doornenburg calculated?

Kern Doornenburg scores 8.4 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 Doornenburg 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.
