Everything close by, little to spend

Vandalism in Groene Weide is recorded at almost four times the national rate, and that figure defines the 3.5 for safety most sharply. Violence here sits exactly on the national middle; it is the vandalism and the thefts that push the total up. What gets broken or taken is the problem here.

The 3.0 for wealth & income rests on nearly every component at once: few households with a high income, more with a low income than nationally, a property value far below the middle and a social assistance rate above fifty per thousand residents. Only vacancy does not deviate. Against that stands an 8.6 for amenities: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all three within six hundred metres, the railway station is not.

Frequently asked questions

Is Groene Weide a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Groene Weide comes out at 45 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Groene Weide 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 Groene Weide?

In Groene Weide the police recorded 170 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (45 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 Groene Weide calculated?

Groene Weide scores 3.6 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 Groene Weide 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.
