Good for children, with a safety question

All four offence types in Genderdal are above the national median, and domestic burglary stands out most sharply at almost four times the national level. That is not the picture of a single problem but of a broadly higher figure, and it produces a 2.7 for safety.

Wealth & income comes out at practically the same. Property values stay well below the national median, higher incomes are rare here, nearly half of households fall into the lower group. On social assistance the neighbourhood stands at a multiple of the national rate.

What runs against that is the 7.0 for families, and that score says something other than it appears. Six in ten households in this Eindhoven neighbourhood consist of one person. The families score mainly measures distance to school and childcare, and the primary school here is five hundred metres away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Genderdal a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Genderdal comes out at 57 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Genderdal 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 Genderdal?

In Genderdal the police recorded 231 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (57 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 Genderdal calculated?

Genderdal scores 2.7 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 Genderdal 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.
