Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The families pillar of De Kapel en omgeving comes out at 9.1, and unusually both sides of that pillar are behind it: the primary school is six hundred metres away and a good four in ten households have children.
The wealth & income pillar is less clear-cut than the 4.5 suggests. The share of high incomes is above the national median and the share of low incomes below it, but the social assistance rate is a good three times as high as nationally and property value stays far below the median. The extremes within this neighbourhood lie further apart than one score can show.
The crime picture turns on violence: it sits a good one and a half times above the national median here, while burglary hardly occurs. The 6.5 for safety is therefore not an average of small deviations but a sum of extremes.

Is De Kapel en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Kapel en omgeving comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Kapel en omgeving?
In De Kapel en omgeving the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Kapel en omgeving calculated?
De Kapel en omgeving scores 6.4 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 Kapel en omgeving 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.
