Everything close by, little space

Noise in Yerseke - Kern is below the national median, and yet quiet & nature comes out at a 3.2. Greenery within three hundred metres covers about half of what is usual nationally, the tree canopy less than half again, and there is no surface water inside the boundary. The pillar measures more than the absence of noise.

Among reported offences, domestic burglary is the only type rising above the national median, at roughly double. Violence, property offences and criminal damage are all three below it, and the total stays well under the national level. That gives a 7.4 for safety — a score in which that single outlier largely disappears.

Wealth & income sticks at a 3.6. Property values are far below the national median, and that is by far the heaviest component of the pillar; the other four components point the wrong way too.

Frequently asked questions

Is Yerseke - Kern a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Yerseke - Kern?

In Yerseke - Kern the police recorded 53 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 Yerseke - Kern calculated?

Yerseke - Kern scores 4.7 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 Yerseke - 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.
