Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Burglary is all but absent in Kraaihoek Noord, but that is the only reassuring number in the safety pillar: violence here is almost twice the national rate, vandalism more than twice, and theft well above it. A 4.7 is the result.

The 4.1 for wealth & income is less clear-cut than it looks. The share of high incomes sits exactly on the national median and low incomes actually below it. What makes the score is property value, well under the national middle, together with social assistance at more than four times the usual rate. The incomes of this neighbourhood are not the problem; the housing and the claim density are.

Families, by contrast, comes out at 9.6, with the primary school four hundred metres away and almost four in ten households having children.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kraaihoek Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kraaihoek Noord comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kraaihoek Noord is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Kraaihoek Noord?

In Kraaihoek Noord the police recorded 119 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Kraaihoek Noord calculated?

Kraaihoek Noord scores 6.0 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 Kraaihoek 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.
