Everything for children close by, and little room
At 9.9, the families pillar of Johannes Geradtswegbuurt belongs to the hundred and twenty highest in the country, and that comes both from the school three hundred metres away and from the population: more than four in ten households have children and almost one in five residents is under fifteen. Those two rarely coincide so neatly.
The 8.6 for wealth & income leans on a property value a third above the national median and on a broad high-income bracket; the social assistance rate does run almost double the national middle, so the picture holds only in part.
The 3.2 for quiet & nature is the sharpest contrast in this profile. There is no water, the share of green space within three hundred metres stays a quarter below the national middle and traffic noise runs five decibels above it, at over six thousand residents to the square kilometre. Only the tree canopy is thicker than usual. That the overall score still comes out at 9.7 shows how much the other four pillars lift it here.

In Johannes Geradtswegbuurt the police recorded 58 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Johannes Geradtswegbuurt lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
