Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Seventy social assistance claims per thousand residents: that is almost nine times the national figure and it explains why Kraaihoek Zuid, at 2.6 for wealth & income, ranks in the lowest five per cent of the country. Property values, high incomes, low incomes and vacancy all point the same way here — no component softens the picture.

The safety score, a 4.0, comes from a different direction than that profile would suggest. Property crime here is actually below the national figure; it is violence and vandalism that are well above it, and violence happens to be the heaviest-weighted component of that pillar. Set against all this is the families pillar, a 9.5, carried by a primary school three hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kraaihoek Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kraaihoek Zuid comes out at 28 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 Kraaihoek Zuid?

In Kraaihoek Zuid the police recorded 65 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Zuid calculated?

Kraaihoek Zuid scores 3.9 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 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.
