School close by, shops further off

The GP in Zuidkil Kwartier is more than two kilometres away and the supermarket one and a half; that is where the 5.0 for amenities comes from, the neighbourhood's lowest score. Only the railway station is relatively close, and that carries little weight in the pillar.

The rest of the picture is markedly favourable. Safety stands at 8.1 with all four offence types below the national figure. Wealth & income lands on 8.7 and holds across the board: property values well above the national median, more high incomes than usual, fewer low ones, no registered social assistance and little vacancy. And with half of households having children and only a tenth of residents over 65, this is a distinctly young neighbourhood in its composition.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zuidkil Kwartier a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Zuidkil Kwartier?

In Zuidkil Kwartier the police recorded 30 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Zuidkil Kwartier calculated?

Zuidkil Kwartier 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 Zuidkil Kwartier 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.
