Safe streets, thinner wallets
The wealth & income pillar of Kern Philippine shows how heavily property value counts. The share of households on a high income is above the national median, the share on a low income below it, and social assistance and vacancy give no cause for concern. Even so, the result is no more than 4.9, and that is down to the property value, which is far below the national median and carries almost four tenths of the weight in this pillar.
The railway station is more than thirty-two kilometres away, while shop, GP and school are within seven hundred metres. That combination produces a 6.2 for amenities: everyday comfort, with travel as the exception.
It is clearly a quiet place. The noise level is far below the national median and there is considerably more greenery around than usual, which yields a 7.2.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kern Philippine a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kern Philippine comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Kern Philippine is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Kern Philippine?
In Kern Philippine the police recorded 27 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 Kern Philippine calculated?
Kern Philippine scores 6.6 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 Kern Philippine 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.
