Everything for children close by, and little room

Kortendijk L has no score below 4.9 and none above 8.0. What makes such a flat profile interesting is where the outcome comes from: the families pillar reaches 8.0 with the primary school five hundred metres away and a third of households having children, while wealth & income stalls at 4.9.

That 4.9 does not come from the incomes — those sit close to the national picture — but from a property value well below the median and a social assistance rate almost three times the middle. Vacancy is negligible.

Among offences, burglary is more than three times the national value and violence marginally above it, while property crime and criminal damage stay below. The total is therefore lower than nationally without the neighbourhood coming out favourably on every component; anyone living here watches the front door above all.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kortendijk L a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kortendijk L comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Kortendijk L?

In Kortendijk L the police recorded 58 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Kortendijk L calculated?

Kortendijk L scores 5.5 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 Kortendijk L 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.
