Everything for children close by, and little room
Laag Dalem II reaches an overall 9.7 while its property values are below the national median. That is because the other components of wealth & income do come out favourably — little social assistance, hardly any vacancy, slightly more high incomes than nationally — but the pillar still stops at 6.4, because house prices count for more there than the rest combined.
The real strength lies elsewhere. Burglary is almost unknown and vandalism is rare, good for an 8.9 on safety, and with shop, doctor, restaurant and school all within seven hundred metres, amenities reaches the same score.
For families there is a 9.2, and here it stands on two legs: a short school distance and more than four in ten households with children. Only quiet & nature lags, at 5.5.

How much crime is there in Laag Dalem II?

The comparison figure above (18 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Laag Dalem II lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
