Safe, but few children
De Lutte kern scores well above the national middle on four pillars and sticks at 5.6 on families. The primary school is eight hundred metres away, so that is not where the problem lies; the share of households with children is around the national level and a quarter of residents are over sixty-five. Where the childcare and secondary school lie cannot be deduced from these figures.
The rest of the measurements read calmly. No social assistance is recorded, property value is above the Dutch median and the income distribution sits close to the national picture — a 6.8 for wealth & income. Violence, property crime and criminal damage are all below the median; only burglary is slightly above it. With over sixty per cent green and one and a half times as much tree canopy as nationally, quiet & nature comes out at 7.4.
