Safe, but not spacious
Langbroek combines a 9.6 for safety with a 9.0 for families, and both figures rest on firm ground. All four offence types sit below the national middle, property crime at a third of it. The primary school is four hundred metres away and nearly four in ten households have children.
The quiet & nature pillar reaches no more than 6.4, even though more than three quarters of the surroundings within three hundred metres is green. Traffic noise lands exactly on the national median here and there is no water; greenery alone does not lift that pillar higher.
The supermarket is more than two kilometres away while GP, school and restaurant are all within five hundred metres. That one missing link is what keeps the amenities pillar at 6.8 — together with a railway station almost eight kilometres off.

Frequently asked questions
Is Langbroek a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Langbroek comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Langbroek 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 Langbroek?
In Langbroek the police recorded 19 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 Langbroek calculated?
Langbroek scores 9.7 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 Langbroek 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.
