Everything close by, little to spend

Of the five pillars, wealth sinks deepest in Landen, to a 3.0. The property value is far below the Dutch middle, but the sharpest is social assistance: it occurs many times more often there than nationally, and it is the heaviest component of that score after the property value.

At the same time this is not a bare place. There is more greenery and more tree canopy around the homes than usual, and that keeps the quiet pillar at 6.3 despite almost nine thousand residents per square kilometre and a fair amount of noise.

The 3.2 for safety comes from almost every side: violence, burglary and theft are registered more often than nationally, only vandalism is exactly at the middle. Violence is at almost double the national figure.

Frequently asked questions

Is Landen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Landen comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Landen 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 Landen?

In Landen the police recorded 265 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Landen calculated?

Landen scores 3.9 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 Landen 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.
