Kerkenbos has too few residents for a reliable rate per 1,000 residents (under 200), so counts are shown instead of a comparison. In 2025, 78 crimes were registered, against 90 in 2021. Crimes are counted where they happen, not where the offender lives.
78 crimes were registered in Kerkenbos in 2025 (90 in 2021).

In 2024, police in Kerkenbos registered 15 traffic accidents, of which 0 with injury and none fatal.
Registered accidents (BRON, Rijkswaterstaat); material-damage-only accidents have not been systematically registered since roughly 2010 and are not comparable between areas. This area shows only accidents with an exactly known location (roughly 80-85% of all registered accidents); the rest is known only at street, intersection or gemeente level. The comparison with the gemeente therefore also uses only the gemeente's exactly-located accidents, which is why that figure is lower than on the gemeente's own page.

Built-up land is the largest land use in Kerkenbos, covering 62% of the area, against 52% in Nijmegen. Green space such as parks, sports fields, forest and nature covers 14% of the area, 7 percentage points below the 21% in Nijmegen.
14% of the area is green (parks, sport, nature), against 21% in the municipality of Nijmegen.
Every share is calculated as a percentage of the TOTAL area (land and water together, peiljaar 2022); water is therefore one of the slices itself, not a separate whole. Green is the sum of recreational terrain (parks, sport fields, allotments, day recreation) and natural terrain (forest, open natural terrain) — agricultural land is not counted as green here.

41% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 21% in the municipality of Nijmegen (2025).
CBS splits passenger cars into 'petrol' and 'other fuel' only. That second category bundles diesel, LPG, electric (including hybrid), hydrogen, alcohol, LNG and CNG together — CBS publishes no separate electric-car count per buurt, wijk or gemeente, so this is not the same as an 'electric share'.

The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 37% to 41% between 2022 and 2025.
See the 'Passenger cars by fuel type' card for what 'other fuel' covers — this is not the share of electric cars.
