Everything for children close by, and little room

Genderbeemd is a middling neighbourhood with one clear weak spot, and it lies in the surroundings. Traffic noise is far above the national median here and greenery within three hundred metres stays well below it; together that produces a 3.8 for quiet & nature, while density is actually low for an urban area. So the score comes not from the buildings but from what is around them.

Wealth & income does the opposite and reaches 6.1. Higher incomes are better represented here than nationally, lower incomes thinner and vacancy minimal; only the social assistance rate is above the Dutch middle, which is what keeps it at 6.1 rather than higher.

On safety all four types of offence sit slightly above the median, with none standing out.

Frequently asked questions

Is Genderbeemd a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Genderbeemd comes out at 27 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 Genderbeemd?

In Genderbeemd the police recorded 126 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 Genderbeemd calculated?

Genderbeemd scores 5.1 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 Genderbeemd 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.
