Everything close by, little to spend

The property value in Limbrichterveld lies far below the national middle, and because that component determines almost four tenths of the wealth pillar, the 3.6 is largely explained by it. The income distribution plays less of a part than you would expect at such a figure: the share of households at the top barely deviates from the national picture. What does stick out is the social assistance density.

Set against that is a 8.5 for amenities: GP, supermarket and restaurant all lie within a kilometre and the station a short distance away. Safety, quiet and wealth none of the three get above four, and for quiet that is mainly the noise — it lies six decibels above the national level. Offences play no part in that pillar; they sit in the 3.9 for safety, where violence and vandalism both lie above the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Limbrichterveld a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Limbrichterveld comes out at 33 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Limbrichterveld?

In Limbrichterveld the police recorded 229 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Limbrichterveld calculated?

Limbrichterveld scores 3.8 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 Limbrichterveld 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.
