Everything close by, safety lags
Property crime is the engine behind the safety score in Binnenstad-Grave: a good sixteen reported offences per thousand residents, against nine nationally. Violence is above the median too, but it is theft that explains the 3.3.
The population is old and its households small: almost four in ten residents are 65 or over and more than half of households consist of one person. That is where the families pillar sticks, despite a primary school within walking distance — the share of children here is small.
Amenities are the strongest point, with an 8.0 for supermarket, restaurant and GP all at hand. What this town centre costs can be seen in vacancy, which is above the national median, and in the share of single-family homes, which stays well below it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Binnenstad-Grave a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Binnenstad-Grave comes out at 39 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Binnenstad-Grave 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.
How much crime is there in Binnenstad-Grave?
In Binnenstad-Grave the police recorded 107 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (39 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 Binnenstad-Grave calculated?
Binnenstad-Grave scores 3.8 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 Binnenstad-Grave 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.
