Everything for children close by, and little room
Laanzicht scores decently to well on four pillars and drops far away on one: quiet & nature gets no further than a 4.0. That is striking for a village neighbourhood, and it is not down to greenery — that sits almost exactly on the national median. It is down to population density, a noise level above the national middle and the absence of water.
Wealth & income comes out at a 6.5 and is less clear-cut than that figure suggests. Property values are above the national median and vacancy far below it, but the share of high incomes stays under the national middle and the social assistance rate is above it.
The 8.5 for families is the most honest figure: the primary school is around the corner, and almost four in ten households have children. The crime picture is calm, with burglary the only type above the median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Laanzicht a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Laanzicht comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Laanzicht 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 Laanzicht?
In Laanzicht the police recorded 49 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Laanzicht calculated?
Laanzicht scores 8.5 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 Laanzicht 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.
