Safe streets, thinner wallets
The noise level in Kerkdriel lies more than four decibels below the national median, and yet the quiet pillar gets no further than a 6.8. The reason is in the other components: the tree canopy covers less surface than in the rest of the country and water is virtually absent. A low noise level does not lift that pillar on its own.
Wealth stays stuck at a 5.3 without a single component standing out. The property value lies almost exactly on the Dutch midpoint, the incomes deviate slightly from it towards the bottom, the vacancy is low and the social assistance rate comes out slightly above it. Such a score is the sum of small minuses, not the result of one problem.
A nuance goes with the 8.6 for safety: burglary hardly occurs here and theft stays well below the average, but violence lies exactly on the national median, not below it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kerkdriel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kerkdriel comes out at 18 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 Kerkdriel?
In Kerkdriel the police recorded 165 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Kerkdriel calculated?
Kerkdriel scores 8.3 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 Kerkdriel 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.
