Everything for children close by, and little room
Every home in Landgoed Driessen was built after 2000, and the figures show what that delivers and what it does not. It delivers a prosperous neighbourhood: a 7.5 for wealth & income, with many top incomes, few low ones, hardly any social assistance and almost no vacancy.
What it does not deliver is quiet. The tree canopy within three hundred metres is half the national level and there is less greenery than average; the quiet & nature pillar therefore stops at 4.8, despite a noise level only just above the median. Young districts have young trees.
Access is the second sacrifice: the railway station is more than fifteen kilometres away and the supermarket more than a kilometre, good for 5.5 on amenities. Among the offences, violence and theft are below the national median and burglary and vandalism slightly above.

Frequently asked questions
Is Landgoed Driessen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Landgoed Driessen comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Landgoed Driessen?
In Landgoed Driessen the police recorded 91 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Landgoed Driessen calculated?
Landgoed Driessen scores 7.4 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 Landgoed Driessen 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.
