G-buurt-Oost
3,170 residents · postal code 1103 · Part of Geerdinkhof/Kantershof, Amsterdam
Safe streets, thinner wallets
A third of the residents of G-buurt-Oost are 65 or over and only fourteen households in a hundred have children, and yet the families score is a 7.3. The explanation lies on the map, not in the population: the primary school is four hundred metres away, and that distance is by far the heaviest component of this pillar.
Quiet & nature reaches a 7.4 despite a sound level far above the national median. That comes from the water — an eighth of the surface — and from a tree canopy well above the middle. In an urban neighbourhood that combination is unusual.
On wealth & income there is little movement in either direction: the income groups sit practically on the national middle and vacancy slightly above it. What explains the 4.9 is property value, which stays below the median and accounts for almost four of the ten points in this pillar.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, G-buurt-Oost 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 G-buurt-Oost?
In G-buurt-Oost the police recorded 72 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 G-buurt-Oost calculated?
G-buurt-Oost scores 7.7 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 G-buurt-Oost 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.
