Everything for children close by, and little room

Vandalism in Valkenkamp runs at almost double the national median and burglary at more than twice it, while the total number of reported offences stays below. That is why the safety pillar sticks at 6.4: this is damage to belongings and homes, not violence — that stays well under the middle.

The wealth & income pillar does well across the board. Property value above the national median, a broad top and a narrow bottom income group, little social assistance and hardly any vacancy — an 8.5 with no component contradicting it.

For families the score is 9.4, with the primary school five hundred metres away. Set against that, the restaurant and the station are both a good two kilometres off: daily life is arranged at close range here, going out is not.

Frequently asked questions

Is Valkenkamp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Valkenkamp 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 Valkenkamp?

In Valkenkamp the police recorded 47 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 Valkenkamp calculated?

Valkenkamp scores 8.5 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 Valkenkamp 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.
