Safe streets, thinner wallets

In Kern Haalderen the supermarket and the primary school are within eight hundred metres, but the GP and the restaurant more than two and a half kilometres away. That combination is why the amenities pillar gets no further than 5.4 while the daily shopping run is short — GP distance weighs almost as heavily in that pillar as the supermarket does.

Safety is markedly good, at 9.1 with all four offence types below the national median. The 8.4 for families here is genuinely carried by families: more than four in ten households have children, well above the national level, and the school is around the corner. Wealth & income remains the weakest component, with property values below the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kern Haalderen a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Kern Haalderen?

In Kern Haalderen the police recorded 22 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 Haalderen calculated?

Kern Haalderen scores 8.0 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 Haalderen 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.
