Everything close by, little to spend

Kapel-Muggenbroek has one category of offence that stands out and three that do not. Theft here is well above the national median; violence, burglary and vandalism all stay below it. That the safety score still holds at 7.2 is because the heaviest-weighted categories in that pillar happen to be the favourable ones.

The wealth & income pillar points the other way without a single culprit. The property value is well below the Dutch middle, the social assistance rate above it, while the income spread barely deviates. Property value is by far the heaviest component of that pillar, which is why the score sinks to 4.6 when incomes would not justify it.

With just over two thousand residents per square kilometre and amenities within a kilometre, this is a neighbourhood that combines urban proximity with a village density.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kapel-Muggenbroek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kapel-Muggenbroek comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 7.2. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 27 records per 1,000, 1.6 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Kapel-Muggenbroek?

In Kapel-Muggenbroek the police recorded 78 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 Kapel-Muggenbroek calculated?

Kapel-Muggenbroek scores 8.2 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 Kapel-Muggenbroek 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.
