Safe, but few children

The greenery around Kunrade coincides exactly with the national median, which is rarer than it sounds. It does not lift the quiet & nature pillar above 5.3: the noise level is above the national middle and that counts for just as much as the greenery.

The safety pillar reaches 9.3, and that figure holds up across the board. Violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four sit below the national median, vandalism at roughly a third of it.

The families score of 5.2 comes from two directions at once. The primary school is nine hundred metres away, which is not a short distance for that pillar, and with three in ten residents over 65 and a small share of children under fifteen there is little on the other side lifting the score either. The wealth & income figures all sit around the national middle, without picking a side.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kunrade a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kunrade comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Kunrade 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 Kunrade?

In Kunrade the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Kunrade calculated?

Kunrade scores 7.8 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 Kunrade 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.
