Safe, but everything is a drive away

In Gemonde not a single social assistance benefit is registered, and at this population size that is a real figure and not chance. Together with a property value above the national median, that lifts the wealth & income pillar to 7.5, while the share of households on a low income is simply national.

The noise level is over seven decibels below the median — the sharpest measurement the neighbourhood has. That, plus plenty of greenery nearby, carries the 7.8 for quiet & nature; the tree canopy there is nationally average.

The supermarket, GP and restaurant are all about three kilometres away. The primary school is the exception, which is why the families pillar at 8.6 runs far ahead of the amenities figure.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gemonde a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Gemonde comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Gemonde is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Gemonde?

In Gemonde the police recorded 21 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Gemonde calculated?

Gemonde scores 8.9 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 Gemonde 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.
