Safe streets, thinner wallets
De Lors scores well above the national median on four of the five pillars and drops to a 4.4 on the fifth. That exception is wealth & income, and the cause lies not in property value, which is only slightly below the median, but in incomes: almost every second household falls into the lowest group and the social assistance rate is four times above the national level.
The 9.2 for safety rests on all offence types at once. Not one rises above the national median and property crime stays far below it.
The families score of 9.1 is backed by the population: the share of children is above the national median and the primary school is six hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Lors a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Lors comes out at 13 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: De Lors 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 De Lors?
In De Lors the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 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 Lors calculated?
De Lors scores 8.9 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 Lors 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.
