Everything close by, little space

Kamerik (dorp) scores 9.4 for amenities, which is striking for a village: supermarket, doctor and restaurant are all within half a kilometre of the door. Only the station is at a distance.

The score that lags behind is quiet & nature, and the reason is not the greenery. On that, Kamerik is well above the national median. It is the trees and the noise: the tree canopy is thin and traffic noise is slightly above average. Together they keep that pillar at 5.5.

Wealth & income gets no further than 6.1. Social assistance is half as common as it is nationally and incomes are marginally better than average, but property values are exactly ordinary, and that component weighs heaviest within the pillar. So the overall score of 8.7 does not come from house prices but from everything around them.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kamerik (dorp) a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Kamerik (dorp)?

In Kamerik (dorp) the police recorded 37 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 Kamerik (dorp) calculated?

Kamerik (dorp) scores 8.7 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 Kamerik (dorp) 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.
