Well-off, but not spacious
In Grasrijk all components of the wealth pillar point the same way, and that is rare: the property value is well above the national one, earners at the top end are twice as strongly represented there as usual, the bottom income group is actually thin, and both social assistance and vacancy stay below the national middle. Hence the 9.0.
That makes the burglary figure all the more striking: burglary occurs there about three times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, while violence lies at half the national level. In the safety pillar burglary counts for a good quarter, and that pushes down the 5.7 that stands there now. The quiet gets no further than a 3.2, and that is not down to the resident density, which is ordinary for an urban neighbourhood, but to the noise: a good six decibels above the Dutch median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Grasrijk a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Grasrijk comes out at 26 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 Grasrijk?
In Grasrijk the police recorded 192 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Grasrijk calculated?
Grasrijk scores 6.1 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 Grasrijk 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.
