Safe, but not spacious
With a 9.8, Groesbeek Nijerf is among the four hundred safest neighbourhoods in the country on that pillar. Vandalism comes out at a fraction of the national median, violence likewise, and burglary and property crime stay clearly below it too.
The 5.0 for quiet & nature seems not to fit, and the reason is that the pillar looks at something else. There is more greenery around than the national norm, but no water, the tree canopy sits just under the median and building density is high for a village core. Crime is not part of this figure.
The primary school is just over a kilometre away, which explains why the families pillar stalls at 7.2 while more than four in ten households here have children.

How much crime is there in Groesbeek Nijerf?
In Groesbeek Nijerf the police recorded 18 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 Nijerf calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Groesbeek Nijerf lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
