Everything close by, little space
Everything is close by and almost nothing is expensive: the Staatsliedenbuurt in Leerdam-West scores 9.9 for amenities — supermarket, GP, school and station are all within a kilometre — while sinking to 3.0 for wealth & income. The two belong together. This is the most densely built corner of the town, with low property values and a social assistance rate approaching seven times the national median.
The safety score here is not driven by theft but by vandalism: that figure sits a good five times above the national median, while burglary stays below it. Violence too is higher than is usual nationally. Anyone living here notices the lack of safety in broken things in public space rather than in a forced front door.
The families pillar rests on distance: the primary school is around the corner. The share of children is below the national picture, so that score says something about access, not about who lives here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Staatsliedenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Staatsliedenbuurt comes out at 41 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Staatsliedenbuurt is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Staatsliedenbuurt?
In Staatsliedenbuurt the police recorded 99 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (41 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 Staatsliedenbuurt calculated?
Staatsliedenbuurt scores 4.1 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 Staatsliedenbuurt 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.
