Everything for children close by, and little room

Liebergen shows how closely accessibility and restlessness sit together. A 9.2 for amenities and a 2.9 for quiet come from the same source here: more than ten thousand residents per square kilometre, which puts everything around the corner and at the same time leaves little greenery, no open water and plenty of noise.

The families figure of 9.5 is among the highest in the country. The primary school is five hundred metres away and almost four in ten households have children, so here the distance and the population composition coincide. That is by no means always the case with a score like this.

On safety the picture is mixed. Burglary and theft are less common than nationally, violence and vandalism more so. That the total nevertheless comes out just below the Dutch median value makes the 6.7 understandable, without making it reassuring.

Frequently asked questions

Is Liebergen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Liebergen comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Liebergen?

In Liebergen the police recorded 162 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Liebergen calculated?

Liebergen scores 7.5 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 Liebergen 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.
