Safe, but not spacious
Vandalism is the only type of reported offence in Kienehoef Zuid that comes out above the national median, almost twice as high, while violence, burglary and theft stay clearly below it. That explains how the safety pillar can stand at a 9.3: of the four, vandalism weighs the least.
The figure holding the neighbourhood back is amenities, a 6.8. Everyday shopping and the GP are close by, but the nearest railway station is eleven kilometres away. For families the combination of a short school distance and many households with children produces an 8.7. The 5.4 for quiet & nature sits in between, with a share of greenery just below the Dutch average and a noise level below it.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Kienehoef Zuid?
In Kienehoef Zuid the police recorded 45 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Zuid calculated?
Kienehoef Zuid scores 9.4 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 Kienehoef Zuid lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
