Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Groenewoud Oost achieves a 9.3 for families and a 3.2 for wealth & income — the widest gap between two pillars here. The primary school five hundred metres away carries the first figure; the second comes from four components all pointing the same way, with a social assistance rate of almost ten times the national median as the sharpest. Only vacancy is low.

Of the crime types, only vandalism is above the national middle; violence is exactly on the median and burglary far below it. At this population size those remain small numbers, but the direction is clear enough for a 6.3.

The tree canopy here is considerably denser than national, and that is why the quiet & nature pillar comes out no lower than 4.6 with a share of greenery below the median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Groenewoud Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Groenewoud Oost comes out at 27 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 Oost?

In Groenewoud Oost the police recorded 14 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Oost calculated?

Groenewoud Oost scores 5.8 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 Oost 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.
