Everything close by, little space

It is tempting to write off the 3.6 for safety in Landlust-Noord as city-centre statistics, where mainly bicycles and phones disappear. The numbers do not allow that. Theft is indeed far above the national middle, but so is violence, at nearly double the median. Both sides of the crime record point the same way.

Against that stands a 9.8 for amenities: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within half a kilometre. Read together, the two figures describe a densely built piece of city where everything is around the corner and the offence register is heavy.

The 8.1 for families should be read in that light. Fewer than a quarter of households have children and the share of under-fifteens is low; here that figure measures what is around the corner, not who lives there.

Frequently asked questions

Is Landlust-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Landlust-Noord comes out at 33 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 Landlust-Noord?

In Landlust-Noord the police recorded 119 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Landlust-Noord calculated?

Landlust-Noord scores 5.2 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 Landlust-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.
