Good for children, with a safety question
The number of social assistance claims in Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert stands at more than six times the national median. That is the heaviest item behind the 4.0 for wealth & income, because property value stays only slightly below the national middle and vacancy is normal. The share of households in the lowest income bracket does sit well above it.
The 3.3 for safety comes from violence and criminal damage, both at roughly double the national level; theft lands practically on it. That is a different profile from a neighbourhood where mainly possessions go missing.
The 9.5 for families sits right beside it, and the school four hundred metres away carries it. Almost one in five residents is under fifteen, which is above the national picture.
What holds the 5.1 for quiet & nature back is not greenery — that lands on the national median — but noise: almost seven decibels above the middle, the sort of level that goes with a busy through road.

Frequently asked questions
Is Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert comes out at 33 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert?
In Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert the police recorded 95 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert calculated?
Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert scores 5.2 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 Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert 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.
