Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

In Overdinkel kern the income picture is unusually sharp: the share of higher incomes is less than half the national figure, and almost half of all households fall into the lowest group. Together with a property value far below the median and a social assistance rate above the Dutch middle, that produces a 3.4 for wealth & income with nothing to soften it.

Against that stands a quiet setting. Traffic noise is well below the national median here, and that carries the 6.7 for quiet & nature more than the greenery does, which stays slightly below.

The 4.6 for safety is not down to violence — that is exactly at the Dutch middle — but to burglary and vandalism, both above it. Meanwhile the school around the corner produces an 8.6 for families.

Frequently asked questions

Is Overdinkel kern a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Overdinkel kern comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Overdinkel kern?

In Overdinkel kern the police recorded 120 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Overdinkel kern calculated?

Overdinkel kern scores 5.4 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 Overdinkel kern 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.
