Safe, but everything is a drive away
Lisserbroek pays for its space in kilometres. Density is low, the sound level stays below the national median and there is plenty of water nearby, but supermarket and GP are both more than one and a half kilometres away and the station nearly seven. Those first two components carry the most weight in the amenities pillar, which is why it stalls at a 5.2 while the village lacks nothing else.
The crime picture is markedly calm at the heaviest end: violence runs at less than a third of the national middle. Burglary and vandalism rise marginally above it, but the total stays far beneath — that is where the 8.8 for safety comes from.
What stands out is that quiet & nature stops at a 6.6 despite that low density. The tree canopy here is thin, well under the national level, and in this pillar that weighs as heavily as the quiet itself.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lisserbroek a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Lisserbroek comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Lisserbroek 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 Lisserbroek?
In Lisserbroek the police recorded 57 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Lisserbroek calculated?
Lisserbroek scores 8.3 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 Lisserbroek 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.
