Everything close by, little to spend
At 2.8, wealth & income in the Ludgeruskwartier is among the lowest in the country, and every component points the same way: the property value is more than forty per cent below the median, the rate of social assistance almost six times the national middle, and fewer than one in ten households has a high income. Nothing in the figures softens this picture.
At the same time there is a 9.5 for amenities and an 8.5 for families. Supermarket, GP and school are all within half a kilometre, and it is that school distance which lifts the families pillar — while with a fifth of households having children there are not especially many families living here.
The safety side leans on property crime, more than twice the national figure. But the violence rate here is also nearly double, so this is not only a neighbourhood where things go missing.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ludgeruskwartier a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Ludgeruskwartier comes out at 47 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Ludgeruskwartier 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 Ludgeruskwartier?
In Ludgeruskwartier the police recorded 162 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (47 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 Ludgeruskwartier calculated?
Ludgeruskwartier scores 4.6 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 Ludgeruskwartier 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.
