Well-off, and well out of town

Almost the entire housing stock of Parijsch Lokkershoek was put up after the year 2000, and the population is correspondingly young: a quarter of residents are under fifteen and fewer than a tenth are 65 or older.

That the families score nonetheless sticks at 6.7 is down to distance. The primary school here is more than a kilometre away, and school distance is at almost a third the heaviest component of that pillar. The same goes for amenities: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all more than a kilometre off, the restaurant more than two.

The wealth & income pillar is strong across the board. Property value sits a third above the national median, a third of households are in the top income group, the share in the lowest stays far below the national figure and so does social assistance.

Frequently asked questions

Is Parijsch Lokkershoek a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Parijsch Lokkershoek?

In Parijsch Lokkershoek the police recorded 39 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 Parijsch Lokkershoek calculated?

Parijsch Lokkershoek scores 8.4 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 Parijsch Lokkershoek 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.
