Bottom 47% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, little to spend

A railway station nine hundred metres away and a GP three hundred: Keent has the accessibility of a town centre without being one, and that yields a 9.8 for amenities.

The crime figures hold a sharp contrast. Violence here is at less than a third of the national median — exceptionally low for a place with five thousand residents per square kilometre — while vandalism is at more than twice the middle and burglary at almost three times. That means: little to fear on the street, but damage to property and homes.

The 3.2 for wealth & income is the counterpart. Property value, income distribution and social assistance all point the same way, with social assistance at almost five times the median as the sharpest component; only vacancy stays below the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Keent a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Keent comes out at 30 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 Keent?

In Keent the police recorded 168 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Keent calculated?

Keent scores 6.0 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 Keent 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.
