Everything close by, little to spend

In Gein 1 the quiet & nature pillar is the only score rising above the national median. Greenery and tree canopy sit at or above the national level and noise stays close to it, which yields a 6.4 in a neighbourhood where almost everything else stays below the line.

Everything touching income points the same way. Property values sit at barely more than half the national median, higher incomes are rare, lower ones are in the majority, and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the national one. That is where the 2.7 comes from, and with it much of the overall 2.9.

The crime picture has one striking exception: domestic burglary here is just below the national median, while violence stands at more than double. For a resident that is a real difference — the risk is outside the front door, not behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gein 1 a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Gein 1 comes out at 41 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Gein 1 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 Gein 1?

In Gein 1 the police recorded 170 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 Gein 1 calculated?

Gein 1 scores 2.9 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 Gein 1 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.
