Everything close by, little to spend

Shop, GP, school and restaurant in Kruiningen - Kern are all three to four hundred metres away. Distances like that rarely come together in one neighbourhood, and they produce both the 9.0 for amenities and the 8.7 for families.

The safety score departs from that. The total number of reported offences is just below the national median, but the composition is unfavourable: residential burglary is recorded roughly three times as often as nationally and vandalism almost twice, while theft stays well below. It is precisely those first two that weigh heavily, and that is where the 4.4 comes from.

The wealth & income pillar stops at 3.3, with a property value far below the national median, a large share of households on a low income and social assistance at a multiple of the national figure. Only the vacancy rate sits exactly at the median.

How much crime is there in Kruiningen - Kern?

In Kruiningen - Kern the police recorded 55 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Kruiningen - Kern lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
