Everything close by, little space

The rate of social assistance in Arnhemse Broek is more than ten times the national middle, and that is the sharpest figure in this neighbourhood. Over half of households have a low income, fewer than one in ten a high one, and the property value stays far below the median — the 3.0 for wealth is earned across the board.

The 2.7 for quiet & nature is among the lowest in the country and has nothing to do with crime: greenery within three hundred metres does not reach half the national level, there is no water, and noise is well above the median. A densely built area between railway and city, and that is exactly what the measurements say.

The 8.4 for families is the mirror image and comes from the school four hundred metres away, not from the number of children — that is below the national middle here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Arnhemse Broek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Arnhemse Broek comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Arnhemse Broek 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 Arnhemse Broek?

In Arnhemse Broek the police recorded 137 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Arnhemse Broek calculated?

Arnhemse Broek scores 4.3 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 Arnhemse Broek 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.
