Everything close by, little space
Centrum Lunteren owes its 9.2 not to one standout figure but to the absence of weaknesses: no pillar drops below five and a half. In a country where almost every neighbourhood falls down badly somewhere, that in itself is the most striking thing about this place.
The wealth & income score of 6.4 is mixed, though. Property values sit well above the median and the social assistance rate below it, but the share of low incomes here is slightly larger and the share of high incomes slightly smaller than nationally. The score leans on the housing, not on the incomes.
At a 5.5, quiet & nature is the weakest pillar, while the noise level sits exactly on the national median and the green share is close to it too. What remains is the population density of a village centre.

Frequently asked questions
Is Centrum Lunteren a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Centrum Lunteren comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Centrum Lunteren is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Centrum Lunteren?
In Centrum Lunteren the police recorded 89 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Centrum Lunteren calculated?
Centrum Lunteren scores 9.2 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 Centrum Lunteren 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.
