Landstrekenwijk Oost
1,740 residents · postal code 8245 · Part of Havendiep, Lelystad
Safe, but everything is a drive away
Almost half the households in Landstrekenwijk Oost have children and only one in six consists of a single person — a ratio you rarely see this lopsided. Even so the families score rises no higher than 8.0, and that is down to the school being more than a kilometre away.
The safety pillar stands at 9.7. All four recorded offence types are below the national median, and the total comes out at just over half the national figure. The wealth pillar too is strong across the board: property values are above the median, no social assistance is recorded, vacancy is low and more households live on a high income than nationally.
The bill arrives at amenities: the GP and restaurant are nearly two kilometres away, and that keeps that pillar at 5.9.

How much crime is there in Landstrekenwijk Oost?
