Geldermalsen Oost
2,050 residents · postal code 4191 · Part of Geldermalsen, West Betuwe
Safe streets, thinner wallets
Geldermalsen Oost earns a 9.7 for safety, and that figure stands on four legs: violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are all four below the national median, the total at just over half of it. With more than two thousand residents these are not chance figures from a handful of reports.
The wealth & income figure of 5.8 tells almost the opposite story: it is an average in the purest sense. Property value sits just below the national median, the shares of high and low incomes practically on it, vacancy is low. Only social assistance is clearly above the national median, and that is what keeps the figure under six. The 8.7 for families stands apart from all that: a school round the corner and a generous share of households with children.

Frequently asked questions

How much crime is there in Geldermalsen Oost?
In Geldermalsen Oost the police recorded 29 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 Geldermalsen Oost calculated?
Geldermalsen Oost scores 9.2 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 Geldermalsen Oost lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
