Safe, but not spacious
A 2.7 for quiet & nature next to an 8.6 for safety: that is the tension in De Grienden. The quiet pillar is pushed down by a sound level a good four decibels above the national median, a share of greenery far below it, and a tree canopy at roughly two thirds of the national level.
Safety is the mirror image. Violence, property crime and vandalism all sit well below the national median; only burglary is slightly above. With over two thousand residents these are counts that carry meaning.
The wealth & income figures are almost all favourable: high property values, little social assistance, hardly any vacancy, more high incomes than usual. Only the share on a low income lands exactly on the median and so says nothing. Nearly half of households have children.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Grienden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Grienden comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: De Grienden 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 De Grienden?
In De Grienden the police recorded 28 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 De Grienden calculated?
De Grienden scores 7.2 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 De Grienden 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.
