Everything close by, little to spend

GP, supermarket, school and station in Groenewoud-Zuid are all within a little over a kilometre, and that produces a 9.7 for amenities — one of the highest scores in the country on that pillar. The overall score nonetheless stalls at 4.3.

The wealth & income score of 3.2 is pushed down by two components: a property value well below the national median and a social assistance rate many times above it. The income distribution deviates less than such a score suggests, and vacancy is only slightly raised.

Safety stands at 4.3 with a clear cause: violence is well above the national median, while property crime stays below it. Because violence counts most heavily in that pillar, the score comes out lower than total reported offences suggest. For residents that is a more relevant distinction than the score itself.

Frequently asked questions

Is Groenewoud-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Groenewoud-Zuid comes out at 31 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-Zuid?

In Groenewoud-Zuid the police recorded 84 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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-Zuid calculated?

Groenewoud-Zuid scores 4.3 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-Zuid 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.
