Top 6% in the Netherlands

Well-off, and well out of town

Almost all homes in 's-Gravenhout were built after the turn of the century, three in five households have children and nine per cent of residents are 65 or older. That is a population structure rarely this sharp in the Netherlands.

The wealth & income pillar reaches 9.8 and every component contributes: a property value nearly twice the national median, a broad top income group, a narrower bottom one, little social assistance and virtually no vacancy.

The weak spot is in the distances. Supermarket, restaurant and GP are all more than a kilometre away, which produces a 5.1 for amenities — the lowest figure in this neighbourhood, in sharp contrast with the rest. The primary school is close by, which keeps the families pillar at 8.6. Living here means doing nearly everything by car except the school run.

Frequently asked questions

Is ’s-Gravenhout a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, ’s-Gravenhout 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 ’s-Gravenhout?

In ’s-Gravenhout the police recorded 47 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 ’s-Gravenhout calculated?

’s-Gravenhout scores 9.6 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 ’s-Gravenhout 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.
