Good for children, with a safety question

Liendert-Noord achieves a 9.9 for families: the primary school five hundred metres away, almost half of households with children and more than one in five residents under fifteen. At the same time there is a 3.5 for safety, and those two are about the same streets.

The safety picture is specific. Violence here is twice the national median and burglary almost three times, while property crime and vandalism stay below it — exactly the combination that hits this pillar hardest. On wealth & income the share of social assistance is the outlier, seven times the national one, alongside a property value only just below the median. With just over a thousand residents this is a small area, so a few reports move the figure noticeably.

Frequently asked questions

Is Liendert-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Liendert-Noord comes out at 31 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 Liendert-Noord?

In Liendert-Noord the police recorded 46 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Liendert-Noord calculated?

Liendert-Noord scores 6.4 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 Liendert-Noord 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.
