Everything close by, little space
Three of the five pillars in Grote Waal - Buurt 13 01 end on virtually the same score: safety, wealth & income and quiet & nature all sit around 2.9. That makes it hard to point to one weak spot; there are three, and together they push the overall score to among the lowest in the country.
Among the offences, no single type exonerates the rest. Violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all lie above the national median, and violence at nearly triple it. That is a different profile from a busy shopping area where bicycles disappear — here it is also about what happens between people.
The wealth side is just as unambiguous: property value lies well below the median, the share of high incomes is a fraction of the national one, and social assistance more than ten times the national middle. What the neighbourhood does have is closeness — GP and primary school within five hundred metres, the station nearby — and that is exactly where the two scores above 8 come from.

Frequently asked questions
Is Grote Waal - Buurt 13 01 a safe neighbourhood?

That is high: Grote Waal - Buurt 13 01 is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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.

The comparison figure above (42 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.
