Room to spare, amenities further off

More than eight decibels quieter than the average Dutch neighbourhood: that is the figure Kienehoef Noord turns on. It carries the 9.2 for quiet & nature, together with a tree canopy nearly twice as generous as nationally and a tenth of the surface under water. Greenery within three hundred metres actually stays just below the median, showing that calm here comes mainly from silence and trees.

Amenities are the other side of the same coin. At 5.3 that pillar lags — the supermarket is eight hundred metres off, the GP just over a kilometre, the station more than eleven. For a neighbourhood of fewer than seven hundred residents the overall score of 9.1 is therefore not a matter of everything being in order, but of four strong pillars comfortably absorbing one weak one. On safety, burglary and the total sit below the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kienehoef Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kienehoef Noord comes out at 19 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 Kienehoef Noord?

In Kienehoef Noord the police recorded 11 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Kienehoef Noord calculated?

Kienehoef Noord scores 9.1 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 Kienehoef Noord 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.
