Room to spare, amenities further off

Of all the figures for Luttelgeest-landelijk gebied, vacancy is the most surprising: more than a third of the housing stock is empty, against some four per cent nationally. Together with property values far below the median, that pushes the wealth & income pillar down to a 4.3, even though no social assistance is recorded.

The overall score of 2.7 comes mainly from distance. The railway station is more than twenty kilometres away and the supermarket nearly six, which drags down both amenities and families.

Inside the safety pillar there is a sharp split. The number of reported offences is roughly at the national middle, but violence comes in more than three times higher while property crime and burglary stay below. That explains why an average-looking total still yields a 6.1.

Frequently asked questions

The comparison figure above (24 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Luttelgeest-landelijk gebied lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
