Safe, but not spacious

A 9.7 for safety means exactly what it looks like here: violence, burglary, vandalism and property crime in Luijendijk all sit below the national middle, and the total comes out at less than half the median.

The figure that needs explaining is the 7.2 for families, because three in ten residents here are 65 or older. That pillar mainly measures distance — school and childcare together — and the primary school is a few hundred metres away; the share of children plays a smaller part. So a high families score does not mean many children live here, but that they have things close by if they do. What the area does ask for is a car or a bike: the railway station is nine kilometres off, and that holds the amenities pillar below what the nearby shop and GP alone would deliver.

Frequently asked questions

Is Luijendijk a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Luijendijk?

In Luijendijk the police recorded 25 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Luijendijk calculated?

Luijendijk scores 9.6 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 Luijendijk 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.
