Everything close by, little to spend

More than a third of the residents of Kroeven-Zuidoost are sixty-five or older, almost half of households consist of one person, and yet families scores 7.4. That figure mainly measures the distance to school and childcare, and the primary school here is four hundred metres away. It says nothing about how many children live here: there are few.

The 3.3 for safety does not come from one type. Violence, burglary, theft and criminal damage all four sit above the national median, burglary at almost three times the national level. The total is a third above the middle.

The 3.0 for wealth & income points the same way as the rest: a property value at two thirds of the national median, fewer than one in ten households in the top income bracket and almost five times as many social assistance claims as nationally.

Against that stands an 8.2 for amenities, with the GP and the supermarket round the corner — exactly what an older population needs daily.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kroeven-Zuidoost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kroeven-Zuidoost comes out at 32 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 Kroeven-Zuidoost?

In Kroeven-Zuidoost the police recorded 85 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Kroeven-Zuidoost calculated?

Kroeven-Zuidoost scores 3.3 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 Kroeven-Zuidoost 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.
