Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Groenewoud Midden scores 7.8 for families and 2.9 for wealth & income, and the gap between those two pillars within the same streets says more than the overall score of 3.3. The families figure rests on a primary school one kilometre away and on the large share of households with children. The wealth figure rests on something else entirely: property value stays well below the national median, the social assistance rate is many times above it, and the income distribution points the same way.

More striking is where the crime here comes from. Property offences are just below the national middle and burglary sits exactly on it; it is vandalism that rises more than three times above. That is a different pattern from a neighbourhood where possessions disappear: this is damage to street and building. Violence is above the median too, and those two together produce the 4.3 for safety.

Frequently asked questions

Is Groenewoud Midden a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Groenewoud Midden comes out at 30 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 Groenewoud Midden?

In Groenewoud Midden the police recorded 60 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Groenewoud Midden calculated?

Groenewoud Midden scores 3.3 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 Groenewoud Midden 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.
