Safe, but not spacious

Almost six in ten households in Landelijk wonen have children and not even a tenth of residents are 65 or older. Even so, the families pillar stalls at 6.6, and that is down to the primary school, which is more than a kilometre away. Distance to school and childcare carries almost two thirds of that score; the share of children cannot make up for it.

The name suggests space, the density says otherwise: almost four thousand residents per square kilometre, which explains the 5.6 for quiet & nature despite a noise level well below the national middle and two thirds greenery in the surroundings. The tree canopy here is thin, in a housing stock built almost entirely after 2000. Vacancy does not occur in this neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

Is Landelijk wonen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Landelijk wonen comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Landelijk wonen?

In Landelijk wonen the police recorded 16 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Landelijk wonen calculated?

Landelijk wonen scores 7.7 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 Landelijk wonen 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.
