Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
With a 9.9 for families, Krabbendijke - Kern is among the two hundred highest in the Netherlands on that pillar. Primary school and supermarket are three to four hundred metres away, the railway station six hundred, and the share of households with children is well above the national picture. Those things rarely line up like that.
The 3.3 for safety stands directly opposite, and it cannot be pinned on one type: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are all four above the national median, burglary at roughly three times it. For a village centre that is an unusually complete picture.
The wealth figures lag as well. The property value is far below the national median, the share of low incomes above it, and the vacancy rate is more than twice the national level. That last figure is striking for a centre with this level of amenities.

Frequently asked questions
Is Krabbendijke - Kern a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Krabbendijke - Kern comes out at 27 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 Krabbendijke - Kern?
In Krabbendijke - Kern the police recorded 67 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Krabbendijke - Kern calculated?
Krabbendijke - Kern scores 4.8 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 Krabbendijke - Kern 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.
