Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Groesbeek Stekkenberg has a safety score of 5.2 while it records fewer offences overall than is nationally usual. The explanation lies in which type: violence here is above the median, and that is the item that weighs heaviest in this pillar. Fewer offences need not produce a higher score if they fall in the serious category.
The 3.8 for wealth & income is sharper still. The share of people on social assistance is almost five times the national middle, nearly fifty per cent of households have a low income and the share of high incomes comes nowhere near normal. This is the weakest pillar in the neighbourhood, and by some distance.
Against that stands a landscape that is genuinely there: the tree canopy is more than three times as dense as the national figure. That shows in the 7.9 for quiet & nature and it is the most tangible advantage of this place for residents.

Frequently asked questions
Is Groesbeek Stekkenberg a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Groesbeek Stekkenberg comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Groesbeek Stekkenberg?
In Groesbeek Stekkenberg the police recorded 70 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Stekkenberg calculated?
Groesbeek Stekkenberg scores 5.9 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 Groesbeek Stekkenberg 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.
