Well-off, schools and childcare further off

Property values in Katerveer-Engelse werk are more than double the national median, and together with a share of high incomes nearly twice the national level and no recorded social assistance, that yields a 9.7 for wealth & income. The share of low incomes sits almost on the middle and vacancy exactly on it.

As for the quiet & nature pillar, this is an unusual combination: noise exposure is nearly nine decibels above the median, but sparse building, a generous tree canopy and a fifth of the surface in water still lift the score to an 8.0.

The families pillar drops to a 5.0, and that comes from the primary school more than two kilometres away. With some 625 residents this is not a place with many schools to choose from.

Frequently asked questions

Is Katerveer-Engelse werk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Katerveer-Engelse werk comes out at 23 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 Katerveer-Engelse werk?

In Katerveer-Engelse werk the police recorded 19 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Katerveer-Engelse werk calculated?

Katerveer-Engelse werk scores 8.6 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 Katerveer-Engelse werk 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.
