Everything close by, little space

Kortfoort has everything close by except the school. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are within six hundred metres and the station a kilometre away, which produces a 9.6 for amenities. The primary school is a good kilometre off, and because school distance is the heaviest component of the families pillar, that one gets no further than 5.6. The share of households with children here is also below the national level.

On safety the emphasis falls on violence and criminal damage: both run more than twice the Dutch median, while burglary stays far below the middle. Property offences are slightly above it. The wealth & income pillar is mixed — the share of high incomes lands exactly on the national one, the bottom group is narrower than nationally, but property value stays below the median and the social assistance rate is more than three times above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kortfoort a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kortfoort comes out at 34 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Kortfoort?

In Kortfoort the police recorded 122 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Kortfoort calculated?

Kortfoort scores 5.2 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 Kortfoort 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.
