Safe, but few children

Seventy per cent of the ground within three hundred metres of Loenen is green and the noise level sits below the national middle. That, plus an offence rate of under seventeen per thousand residents, yields a 7.9 for quiet & nature and an 8.6 for safety — the two figures this village runs on.

The 5.0 for families stands out against them, because distance is not the cause: the primary school is five hundred metres away. It lies in who lives here. Just over one in eight residents is under fifteen and almost thirty per cent are over 65. That is an ageing population, and the pillar measures it.

The flip side of the quiet shows in amenities. Shop, GP and restaurant are all within a kilometre, but the nearest railway station is nine away. For anyone who has to reach the city without a car, that is the distance that decides.

Frequently asked questions

Is Loenen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Loenen comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Loenen is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Loenen?

In Loenen the police recorded 43 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Loenen calculated?

Loenen scores 7.8 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 Loenen 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.
