Everything close by, little space
One figure stands out in Kern Binnen Zuid, and it is not the one you would expect. Vacancy here runs at more than double the national median, while property value and incomes come out favourably. That pushes wealth & income down to a 7.4 where the expensive housing on its own could have gone higher — vacancy weighs more in that pillar than owner-occupied and rented homes together.
The offences tell a clear story. Theft and embezzlement lie above the national middle, violence below it, and burglary almost nowhere. That is the pattern of a place many people pass through: belongings go missing more often than average, but the street itself is no less safe than elsewhere.
Otherwise this is a neighbourhood of short distances — supermarket, GP and restaurant a few hundred metres off — with one substantial exception: the nearest railway station is almost five kilometres away. For anyone commuting without a car, that is where the 9.0 for amenities loses its shine.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kern Binnen Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kern Binnen Zuid comes out at 24 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Kern Binnen Zuid?
In Kern Binnen Zuid the police recorded 77 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Zuid calculated?
Kern Binnen Zuid scores 9.0 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 Zuid 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.
