Safe, but not spacious
The amenities score for Langeraar is missing, so the overall figure rests on four pillars here instead of five. The income data are missing too — Statistics Netherlands does not publish those where there are too few households. What remains is a 7.1, carried by safety and families.
The 4.2 for quiet & nature needs explaining in a place with more than two thousand residents per square kilometre and more greenery than is nationally usual. It is the tree canopy: that sits at a fraction of the national median. Plenty of open space, few trees — and the sound level is exactly on the national median, so nothing is gained or lost there.
Wealth & income comes to 5.1 and leans on what is available: a property value just under the national median and a social assistance rate well above it. With the income distribution out of view, that score rests on a narrower base than in most neighbourhoods.

Frequently asked questions
Is Langeraar a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Langeraar comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Langeraar is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Langeraar?
In Langeraar the police recorded 31 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Langeraar calculated?
Langeraar scores 7.1 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 Langeraar 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.
