Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Leunen has two hundred and twenty residents per square kilometre, one of the lowest densities you will find in the Netherlands, and that drives the 8.1 for quiet & nature. More interesting is what does not join in: the greenery within three hundred metres sits below the national middle here. The space is there; the greenery measurement does not confirm it.

The amenities are better than that density would suggest. Supermarket and primary school are seven hundred metres away; the restaurant and the station two and four kilometres respectively. That the score still stalls at 6.4 comes from those last two — the daily things are close here, the rest is not.

The wealth & income pillar is the weakest of the five. Property value and incomes all three sit just below the Dutch middle, with no downward outlier.

Frequently asked questions

Is Leunen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Leunen comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Leunen?

In Leunen the police recorded 62 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Leunen calculated?

Leunen scores 9.0 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 Leunen 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.
