Safe streets, thinner wallets
All four categories of offence in Lutjebroek sit below the national median, and for violence and burglary at a fraction of it. That is exactly what a 9.8 for safety means, and it is a claim not every neighbourhood with a low crime total can make.
The wealth & income pillar is split. Social assistance and vacancy are well below the national level, but property values stay under the median and the share of households on a high income does not reach it. So the 5.6 is partly good news and partly not — a modest middle position in a place where hardly anyone claims benefits.
What keeps the quiet & nature score at 6.1 rather than higher is the tree canopy, which comes out at roughly half the national level. More than a tenth of the surface is water.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lutjebroek a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Lutjebroek comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Lutjebroek 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 Lutjebroek?
In Lutjebroek the police recorded 23 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 Lutjebroek calculated?
Lutjebroek scores 9.6 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 Lutjebroek 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.
