Safe streets, thinner wallets

Langkamp scores a 9.2 for safety and a 9.1 for families, but drops to a 3.8 for wealth & income, and that last figure is weak across the board. The rate of social assistance is nearly five times the national middle, the share of high incomes is less than half, the share of low incomes well above it and property values below. Only vacancy differs favourably.

That is the tension here: a neighbourhood where daily life is in order — school and GP within six hundred metres, few reported offences — while residents' finances tell a different story.

Among the crime figures, vandalism is the only type above the median; violence is at less than half of it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Langkamp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Langkamp comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Langkamp 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 Langkamp?

In Langkamp the police recorded 17 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Langkamp calculated?

Langkamp scores 8.3 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 Langkamp 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.
