Everything for children close by, and little room

Eighteen kilometres to the nearest station: that is the decisive distance in Laarbunders, and the reason amenities sticks at 5.9 while supermarket, GP and school are all within seven hundred metres. Living here means doing the daily things on foot and the distant ones by car.

The 9.1 for families comes from those same short distances, with the primary school four hundred metres away. That is not a statement about the population: a quarter of residents are 65 or over and the share of children matches the national level.

On wealth & income what stands out is how little stands out. Property value, income distribution and vacancy all sit close to the Dutch middle; only the social assistance rate is well above it. The result is a 6.0 that is exactly what it looks like.

Frequently asked questions

Is Laarbunders a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Laarbunders comes out at 20 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 Laarbunders?

In Laarbunders the police recorded 54 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Laarbunders calculated?

Laarbunders scores 7.5 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 Laarbunders 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.
