Everything close by, little space

Almost everything in Lasonder, Zeggelt is within walking distance: supermarket, doctor, restaurant and primary school within six hundred metres, the station less than two kilometres away. That 9.7 for amenities is the flip side of the 2.6 for quiet & nature — with less than a fifth greenery within three hundred metres, this is among the most built-up settings in the country.

The offences follow an inner-city pattern. Theft and vandalism are well above the median, burglary below it; what disappears here is mostly property. But violence is above the national median too, so the safety question cannot be reduced to bicycles and wallets. The 7.8 for families, meanwhile, comes not from the number of children, which is small, but from the short walk to the primary school.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lasonder, Zeggelt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Lasonder, Zeggelt comes out at 36 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 Lasonder, Zeggelt?

In Lasonder, Zeggelt the police recorded 107 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (36 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 Lasonder, Zeggelt calculated?

Lasonder, Zeggelt 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 Lasonder, Zeggelt 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.
