Safe, but everything is a drive away
A quarter of the addresses in Groot-Ammers-Gelkenes stand empty, far above the national median. With a hundred and thirty residents that means a handful of premises, but it is the most striking figure this neighbourhood has to offer. That the wealth & income pillar still comes out at 6.4 is down to property value: it is above the national median and weighs heaviest in this pillar. Income data are missing; with too few households the CBS does not publish them.
The population make-up is markedly young for a thinly settled area. A good quarter of residents are under fifteen, and the share of older people stays clearly below the national picture.
The families pillar nevertheless stalls at 6.3, because of the distance to the primary school: almost two kilometres, and that counts harder in this score than the number of children.

Frequently asked questions

For 2025, Groot-Ammers-Gelkenes comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Groot-Ammers-Gelkenes?
In Groot-Ammers-Gelkenes the police recorded 7 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Groot-Ammers-Gelkenes calculated?
Groot-Ammers-Gelkenes scores 7.4 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 Groot-Ammers-Gelkenes 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.
