Everything for children close by, and little room
Grobbendonck scores 9.2 for families and 8.5 for safety, and here the two reinforce each other. The primary school is five hundred metres away, almost four in ten households have children, and recorded violence is at roughly a fifth of the national median.
One type deviates: burglary is at more than three times the national middle. Within the safety pillar that is the second heaviest-weighted type, and it explains why the score is not a nine despite a crime rate far below the median.
The quiet & nature pillar stays at 5.5. The tree canopy here is twice as dense as is usual nationally, but the green in the immediate surroundings reaches only three quarters of the national middle and there is no water. Trees without open space around them do not produce a high quiet score.

Frequently asked questions
Is Grobbendonck a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Grobbendonck comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Grobbendonck is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Grobbendonck?
In Grobbendonck the police recorded 30 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Grobbendonck calculated?
Grobbendonck scores 9.3 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 Grobbendonck 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.
