Everything close by, except school and childcare

The tree canopy of Loolaan-Noord is more than twice as dense as nationally and there is more greenery nearby than usual, yet quiet & nature still stops at 5.8. The explanation lies in the density and the noise, both above the national middle; greenery alone does not lift that pillar.

The families score of 5.5 does not come from distances here. The primary school is eight hundred metres away. What holds the figure down is who lives here: the share of residents under fifteen is about two thirds of the national level and a quarter of households have children, against nearly three in ten nationally.

Amenities and wealth & income keep the overall score at 8.2. In the latter, property value is the engine: it is clearly above the median, while the social assistance rate sits well above it too.

Frequently asked questions

Is Loolaan-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Loolaan-Noord comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Loolaan-Noord?

In Loolaan-Noord the police recorded 59 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Loolaan-Noord calculated?

Loolaan-Noord scores 8.2 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 Loolaan-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.
