Everything close by, little to spend
Property crime is the heart of the story in Groesbeek De Drul-West: it occurs more than one and a half times as often as nationally, and vandalism clearly more often too, while violence stays below the median. That is the profile of a neighbourhood where things go missing, not of a place where you would rather stay indoors at night — and it explains how a 4.8 for safety goes together with a total only slightly above the national middle.
The quiet & nature pillar does well at 7.3, and tree canopy stands out: it is twice as generous here as nationally, with more greenery within three hundred metres as well. In wealth & income the weakness lies in incomes — almost half of households are in the lowest group, fewer than nationally in the highest — while property value, social assistance and vacancy stay close to the national picture. Nearly four in ten residents here are 65 or over.

Frequently asked questions
Is Groesbeek De Drul-West a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Groesbeek De Drul-West comes out at 27 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 De Drul-West?
In Groesbeek De Drul-West the police recorded 38 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 De Drul-West calculated?
Groesbeek De Drul-West scores 6.1 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 De Drul-West 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.
