Well-off, schools and childcare further off
For a rural area with fewer than a hundred and fifty residents per square kilometre, the 4.9 for safety is the most striking figure in Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout. The total sits slightly above the national median, but violence is recorded here almost twice as often as nationally, while vandalism and property crime stay below it.
The 3.5 for families comes from distance. The primary school is nearly two kilometres away, and that is mainly what this pillar measures. The supermarket and the GP are just as far — they weigh on the amenities pillar, not on the families score, because they are not part of it. Set against that is the space itself: an 8.0 for quiet & nature and a property value far above the national median.

In Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout the police recorded 92 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Buitengebied Noordwijkerhout lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
