Well-off, but not spacious

Every home in Kortenoord-Oost was built after 2000 and more than half of households have children; three per cent of residents are 65 or older. That is a markedly young population, and together with a 9.1 for wealth & income — high property value, many households in the top income group, little social assistance, hardly any vacancy — it explains the overall score of 9.5.

The bill arrives in the 4.3 for quiet & nature. This is densely built up, the share of greenery within three hundred metres is below the national middle and the tree canopy only just exceeds it. Traffic noise, by contrast, is moderate. On families the primary school more than a kilometre away costs something, but the large share of children still lifts that pillar to an 8.4.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kortenoord-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Kortenoord-Oost?

In Kortenoord-Oost the police recorded 23 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Kortenoord-Oost calculated?

Kortenoord-Oost scores 9.5 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 Kortenoord-Oost 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.
