Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 4.7 for wealth & income next to an overall score of 9.3 calls for an explanation, and it lies in a single component. Incomes in Groeneweg-Noord are close to the national median and so is the social assistance rate; what drags the score down is property value, which carries the most weight in this pillar. This is not a neighbourhood with an income problem but one with cheap houses.

Against that stands a safety score of 9.5 that holds up right across the board: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism each lie below the national median, burglary at virtually zero. And with the primary school around the corner and four in ten households having children, the families pillar reaches a 9.7.

The station is the exception to all that proximity — it is two kilometres away, and that is exactly what holds the amenities pillar back.

Frequently asked questions

Is Groeneweg-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Groeneweg-Noord comes out at 18 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 Groeneweg-Noord?

In Groeneweg-Noord the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Groeneweg-Noord calculated?

Groeneweg-Noord scores 9.3 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 Groeneweg-Noord 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.
