neighbourhood in Den Haag
Kom Loosduinen
5,040 residents · postal code 2552 · Part of Loosduinen, Den Haag
Everything close by, little to spend
Almost a third of the residents of Kom Loosduinen are 65 or over and more than half of households have just one occupant. The offence figure there lies far above the Dutch median, with violence and vandalism as the biggest outliers. Burglary is the exception: that is less common there than nationally.
The quiet pillar gives a less gloomy picture than the density suggests. There is strikingly much tree canopy here — more than double the national share — and the greenery comes out at the Dutch level. Only the noise lies above it. For a neighbourhood with this building density that is a favourable outcome.
That wealth comes out at a 3.0 has one dominant cause. The number of social assistance benefits there is many times higher than usual, and property values lag far behind. The amenities, by contrast, are excellent: shop, GP and school are all a few minutes' walk away, good for a 9.1.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kom Loosduinen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kom Loosduinen comes out at 46 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kom Loosduinen is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Kom Loosduinen?
In Kom Loosduinen the police recorded 324 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (46 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 Kom Loosduinen calculated?
Kom Loosduinen scores 4.3 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 Kom Loosduinen 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.
