Well-off, but not carefree

Genoenhuis is prosperous on every component that counts: property value is far above the national median, households on a high income are strongly over-represented, the bottom group is narrower than nationally and social assistance is almost three times less common. That is the 8.5 for wealth & income.

And that is exactly what makes the 4.4 for safety explicable. Burglary here is more than four times the national median, while violence, property crime and vandalism barely deviate from it. Slightly fewer offences are reported in total than average; it is one type pulling the pillar down. For residents that is a different kind of risk from what a high total would suggest, and it is at the front door.

Frequently asked questions

Is Genoenhuis a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Genoenhuis comes out at 24 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 Genoenhuis?

In Genoenhuis the police recorded 105 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Genoenhuis calculated?

Genoenhuis scores 7.6 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 Genoenhuis 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.
