neighbourhood in Noordwijk
Dobbelmannduin
545 residents · postal code 2202 · Part of Noordwijk Zee, Noordwijk
Safe, but few children
Property values at more than twice the national median lift Dobbelmannduin to a 9.5 for wealth & income, and incomes support that: almost twice as many high incomes as is usual nationally and no registered social assistance. It is not entirely consistent, because vacancy here is almost three times the national figure.
Safety is the neighbourhood's strongest score at 9.7 and it holds on all four components: violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are each below the national figure. Against that stands a 4.8 for families, which comes from two directions at once: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and the share of households with children stays below the national picture while a quarter of residents are 65 or older.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dobbelmannduin a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Dobbelmannduin comes out at 16 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Dobbelmannduin 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 Dobbelmannduin?
In Dobbelmannduin the police recorded 7 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Dobbelmannduin calculated?
Dobbelmannduin 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 Dobbelmannduin 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.
