8,260 residents · postal code 3065 · Part of Prins Alexander, Rotterdam
Well-off, but not carefree
More than a third of the households in 's-Gravenland have children, and yet the families score hangs at a 5.6. The explanation lies in the distance: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and school distance is the heaviest component of that pillar. The distances to childcare and secondary education also count in it, but are not in the table below this text.
Wealth tells the opposite story, because there the components nearly all point the same way. The property value lies well above the Dutch median, top incomes occur more often than average, low incomes less, and little stands empty — together a 8.3. One figure does not fit that picture: burglary in 's-Gravenland lies at double the national median, while vandalism stays below it.

Frequently asked questions
Is 's-Gravenland a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, 's-Gravenland comes out at 31 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 's-Gravenland?
In 's-Gravenland the police recorded 381 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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-Gravenland calculated?
's-Gravenland scores 5.9 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-Gravenland 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.
