Everything close by, safety lags

A 10.0 for amenities is the highest score possible, and Kamperpoort earns it: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all three hundred metres away or less. Against that stands a 2.6 for safety.

That low figure comes from two directions. Theft is by far the largest item, but the violence rate here is more than three times the national median, and that is what separates it from a city-centre neighbourhood where only bicycles disappear. The wealth & income pillar stalls at a 3.4 given a property value well below the Dutch average and a social assistance rate five times above it. Greenery is scarce: around the neighbourhood there is less than half of what an average Dutch neighbourhood has, which together with the density explains the 3.5 for quiet & nature.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kamperpoort a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kamperpoort comes out at 77 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kamperpoort is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Kamperpoort?

In Kamperpoort the police recorded 293 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (77 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 Kamperpoort calculated?

Kamperpoort scores 3.4 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 Kamperpoort 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.
