Loonse Vaart
1,750 residents · postal code 5171 · Part of Kaatsheuvel-Oost, Loon op Zand
Safe, but not spacious
Amenities at 8.0 and quiet & nature at 3.5: in Loonse Vaart almost everything is within walking distance, and that has a price. The supermarket, GP and restaurant are all three within a kilometre, while the share of greenery nearby stays below the national median and the noise level above it.
The station is the exception in that list: it is almost thirteen kilometres away. The train counts for a sixth of the amenities pillar, so that distance weighs on the figure but does not break it.
On wealth & income the components point two ways. The income distribution is close to the national picture — the top group slightly narrower, the bottom one as well — but the number of social assistance benefits per thousand residents is well over twice the median, and property value lags behind.

Frequently asked questions
Is Loonse Vaart a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Loonse Vaart comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Loonse Vaart?
In Loonse Vaart the police recorded 31 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Loonse Vaart calculated?
Loonse Vaart scores 6.9 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 Loonse Vaart 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.
