Safe streets, thinner wallets
The property value in De Landen/De Akkers is a little over half the national middle, and the social assistance rate more than four times it. That pulls the wealth & income pillar down to 3.5 while the income spread barely deviates from the Dutch picture and vacancy is close to nil. So a score like that says more here about what homes are worth than about what households earn.
The safety pillar points the other way and does so consistently: violence, burglary and theft all three sit below the national median, only vandalism slightly above.
Supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all five hundred metres away here. That is why amenities come out at 7.9 despite a station more than four kilometres off — the eight distances within that pillar do not all carry the same weight.

For 2025, De Landen/De Akkers comes out at 19 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 De Landen/De Akkers?
In De Landen/De Akkers the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 De Landen/De Akkers calculated?
De Landen/De Akkers scores 6.7 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 De Landen/De Akkers 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.
