Everything close by, little to spend
The number of social assistance claims per thousand residents in Geitenkamp is fourteen times that of the average Dutch neighbourhood. It is the most pronounced number on this page, and together with a property value a good half of the Dutch median and nearly six in ten households on a low income it fully explains the 2.8 for wealth & income. Only one in nine homes is owner-occupied.
Among the offences the emphasis lies somewhere other than a high total would suggest. Theft occurs here exactly as often as nationally — this is not a neighbourhood where above-average amounts of property disappear. What does stand out is violence, occurring almost four times as often here as at the Dutch median, and that is precisely what weighs heaviest in the safety pillar. So the 3.0 there is about something other than bicycle theft.
The amenities, by contrast, are excellent: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all three within seven hundred metres, which yields a 9.6.

Frequently asked questions
Is Geitenkamp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Geitenkamp comes out at 38 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Geitenkamp 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 Geitenkamp?
In Geitenkamp the police recorded 190 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (38 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 Geitenkamp calculated?
Geitenkamp scores 3.9 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 Geitenkamp 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.
