Good for children, with a safety question
The crime figure for Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer is more than five times the national median, and almost all of it is property crime. Violence is actually below the national median, with burglary and vandalism barely above it. That is the profile of a place where belongings disappear, not of a street you avoid after dark — though safety still lags at 4.7 because of it.
The rest of the figures point elsewhere. Families score 8.7: the primary school is five hundred metres away and nearly four in ten households have children.
Wealth & income lands at 6.5, with property values close to the national median, little vacancy and a top income group broader than the national one. Anyone judging this Eindhoven neighbourhood on the crime figure alone is reading just one of its five pillars.

Frequently asked questions
Is Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer comes out at 130 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer 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 Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer?
In Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer the police recorded 816 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (130 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 Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer calculated?
Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer scores 6.8 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 Achtse Barrier-Gunterslaer 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.
