Everything close by, little space

Kern Binnen Noord scores 9.2 for amenities and 3.1 for quiet & nature, and both figures come from the same thing: almost ten thousand residents per square kilometre, with supermarket, GP and restaurant within half a kilometre and little greenery in between.

The 4.0 for wealth & income is what pulls the overall score down. Property value is below the national median, more than four in ten households have a low income, social assistance is twice the national rate and vacancy well above it. Only on that last point would a coastal town have more leeway.

Safety, at 8.6, is in good shape: violence and burglary both sit below the national median and total reported offences below it too. Only vandalism comes out slightly above.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kern Binnen Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kern Binnen Noord comes out at 22 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 Kern Binnen Noord?

In Kern Binnen Noord the police recorded 63 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Binnen Noord calculated?

Kern Binnen Noord scores 7.0 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 Binnen 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.
