Everything close by, little to spend
Vandalism in Groesbeek Centrum-Noord is recorded almost five times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and that is the clearest explanation for the 3.8 for safety — violence and burglary are above the median too, but much closer to it.
The age profile colours the rest of the figures. Four in ten residents are 65 or older, and that pushes the families pillar down to 5.2 even though the primary school is within a kilometre. Anyone moving here with children will find the facilities, but few peers for them. The wealth & income pillar also stays below the middle: property values are under the national median and the share of people on social assistance more than three times above it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Groesbeek Centrum-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Groesbeek Centrum-Noord comes out at 34 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Groesbeek Centrum-Noord?
In Groesbeek Centrum-Noord the police recorded 104 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Groesbeek Centrum-Noord calculated?
Groesbeek Centrum-Noord scores 4.0 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 Groesbeek Centrum-Noord 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.
