Plenty of space, less prosperity
Two thirds of the surroundings within three hundred metres of Gein 4 are green, noise levels are below the national median and there is more water than in almost any neighbourhood in the country. That combination produces an 8.5 for quiet & nature at nearly five thousand residents per square kilometre — space and density do not rule each other out here.
The crime figures point the same way: violence sits on the national median, burglary and property crime below it. Only vandalism stands out, and on its own it pushes down the 6.8 for safety. What the area does not bring is wealth: the 3.8 rests on a social assistance rate almost five times the national median and on a property value that stays below it. That is the tension here — living green and quietly does not coincide with spending power.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gein 4 a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Gein 4 comes out at 20 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 Gein 4?
In Gein 4 the police recorded 85 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 4 calculated?
Gein 4 scores 6.6 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 4 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.
