Everything close by, little to spend

Almost everything is within walking distance in the Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt — a 9.8 for amenities and a 9.4 for families, with shop, GP, restaurant and school all within seven hundred metres. That is the top end of the country on reach.

Beneath it lies an entirely different figure. The rate of social assistance is more than ten times the national median, nearly six in ten households have a low income and high incomes are rare. Every component of the wealth & income pillar points the same way; the 2.7 is not a glitch but the sum.

The safety score of 2.9 comes chiefly from violence, which here is almost three times the national middle and weighs the most in that pillar. Judging this neighbourhood by what lies within walking distance leads to a different conclusion than looking at what happens behind the front door — and both figures sit on the same page.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt comes out at 43 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt 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 Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt?

In Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt the police recorded 207 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (43 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 Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt calculated?

Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt scores 4.5 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 Lodewijk van Deysselbuurt 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.
