Well-off, schools and childcare further off
No amenities score has been calculated for Nieuwkoop Lintbebouwing, and that is not a detail: this neighbourhood's overall score rests on four pillars instead of five. The distances to supermarket, GP and school are missing with it, so nothing can be said here about accessibility.
What is there is pronounced. Property values are almost twice the national median and no social assistance is registered; that puts the wealth & income pillar at 9.9, among the hundred and fifty highest in the country. Income data are missing here — Statistics Netherlands does not publish them where there are too few households — so that score leans heavily on the housing stock. The families pillar lags far behind at 4.1, which fits a population of which almost a third is 65 or older. Almost a third of the surface area is water.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nieuwkoop Lintbebouwing a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Nieuwkoop Lintbebouwing comes out at 19 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 Nieuwkoop Lintbebouwing?
In Nieuwkoop Lintbebouwing the police recorded 48 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Nieuwkoop Lintbebouwing calculated?
Nieuwkoop Lintbebouwing scores 9.5 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 Nieuwkoop Lintbebouwing 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.
