Safe, but not spacious
Koudekerke scores a 9.8 for safety, earned across the board: violence at a quarter of the national median, burglary at a fraction, property crime well below it. Only vandalism comes slightly above. Together with short distances to school, GP and supermarket that produces a neighbourhood which leaves little of daily life unattended.
The wealth & income pillar of 5.0 is not one single story. The property value stays under the Dutch middle and that carries heavy weight, but social assistance and vacancy both lie on or below the national median and the income distribution barely differs from it. That makes this not a neighbourhood with a wealth problem but one with modest house prices. Almost three in ten residents are 65 or older, and that the families score still reaches an 8.3 comes from the school around the corner, not from the number of children.

Frequently asked questions
Is Koudekerke a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Koudekerke comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Koudekerke 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 Koudekerke?
In Koudekerke the police recorded 47 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 Koudekerke calculated?
Koudekerke scores 8.9 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 Koudekerke 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.
