Everything for children close by, and little room

A 9.1 for families and a 2.9 for quiet & nature in the same neighbourhood: Gerardusplein is a densely built piece of city with the primary school around the corner. More than seven thousand residents per square kilometre, little greenery nearby and noise above the national median — that is what the quiet & nature pillar measures, and crime is not part of it.

Crime is in the 6.2 for safety, and that score is mixed: property crime is above the median, burglary far below it, violence and vandalism roughly on it. That the overall score still reaches 8.0 is because the four other pillars are each above the national median — quiet is the exception here, and the only pillar on which the area truly sits near the bottom.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gerardusplein a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Gerardusplein comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Gerardusplein?

In Gerardusplein the police recorded 128 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 Gerardusplein calculated?

Gerardusplein scores 8.0 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 Gerardusplein 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.
