Everything close by, safety lags

Over sixty decibels: Lievendaal is among the noisiest neighbourhoods in the country, nine decibels above the national median. That the quiet & nature pillar still reaches a 6.0 is because greenery and tree canopy both sit above the national middle. Noise and greenery point in opposite directions here, and the score is the compromise.

The safety pillar knows no such softening. Violence here runs at almost double the national middle and burglary three times as high, and those are the two heaviest categories; only property crime stays just below. A 3.4 follows directly.

The rate of social assistance is more than four times the national median, while the share of high incomes stays only slightly under it. Those two together sketch a neighbourhood with a sharp dividing line between households, and it is that spread which keeps wealth & income at a 4.0.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lievendaal a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Lievendaal comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Lievendaal?

In Lievendaal the police recorded 113 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Lievendaal calculated?

Lievendaal scores 4.8 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 Lievendaal 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.
