2,225 residents · postal code 2034 · Part of Europawijk, Haarlem
Good for children, with a safety question
Vandalism is recorded in Landenbuurt more than four times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and theft nearly twice; violence and burglary are only just above it. The 3.5 for safety therefore comes from damage and property, not from violence in the street.
The 4.3 for wealth & income cannot be read as poverty. The bottom income group here is in fact slightly narrower than nationally; what drags the score down is property value and above all the social assistance rate, which is far above the middle.
Set against that, daily life here is short. GP, restaurant, primary school and supermarket are all within six hundred metres, good for an 8.9 for amenities and a 9.0 for families. Only the station is four kilometres away, and that is the one distance that counts here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Landenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Landenbuurt comes out at 48 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Landenbuurt is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Landenbuurt?
In Landenbuurt the police recorded 154 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (48 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 Landenbuurt calculated?
Landenbuurt scores 5.4 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 Landenbuurt 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.
