Everything close by, little space

De Koog is a village neighbourhood without extremes, save for one figure that needs explaining. Reported offences sit above the national middle, but that comes from a single type: theft, which runs at twice the median here. Burglary is almost absent, violence is exactly at the Dutch middle and vandalism below it. That is the profile of things going missing, not of a place where you would rather stay indoors after dark.

The second thing that stands out is the 6.0 for families, with nearly four in ten households having children. The explanation is distance: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and school and childcare distance make up the bulk of that pillar. Plenty of families live here, but they have a ride ahead of them.

Frequently asked questions

Is De Koog a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, De Koog 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 De Koog?

In De Koog the police recorded 148 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 De Koog calculated?

De Koog scores 6.1 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 De Koog 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.
