Room to spare, amenities further off

Two thirds of the surface within three hundred metres of Gein 3 is green and noise exposure is below the national median. For a neighbourhood inside the boundaries of Amsterdam that is an unusual combination, and it is what carries the 8.1 for quiet and nature.

The wealth pillar adds up in every direction: property value above the national middle, the share of high incomes above it, the share of low incomes below it, and the social assistance rate at a good third of the national median. Four components, no exception.

The safety score of 6.6 is the weakest spot, and that is surprising when you look at the separate figures. Violence, property crime and vandalism all lie below the national middle; only burglary rises above, and after violence it weighs heaviest. For daily shopping you have a good kilometre to cover here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gein 3 a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Gein 3 comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Gein 3?

In Gein 3 the police recorded 94 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 3 calculated?

Gein 3 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 Gein 3 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.
