Everything close by, safety lags
In the Gelderlandpleinbuurt hardly any home is single-family and six in ten residents live alone, while more than a fifth are 65 or older. Yet there is a 6.5 for families — that pillar looks first at the distance to school and childcare, and here it is short. So the figure says something about access, not about who lives there.
The 4.2 for safety comes almost entirely from theft, which runs at more than twice the national median. Violence is slightly above it, vandalism below. For a neighbourhood with this kind of retail concentration that is a recognisable pattern, and it means something different to a resident than a high violence figure would.
The property value is above the national median and the top income group is wide; it is social assistance, at almost three times the median, that keeps the wealth pillar at 6.6.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gelderlandpleinbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Gelderlandpleinbuurt comes out at 39 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Gelderlandpleinbuurt 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 Gelderlandpleinbuurt?
In Gelderlandpleinbuurt the police recorded 272 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (39 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 Gelderlandpleinbuurt calculated?
Gelderlandpleinbuurt scores 7.5 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 Gelderlandpleinbuurt 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.
