Groot Holthuizen
2,835 residents · postal code 6905 · Part of Zevenaar, Zevenaar
Safe, but not spacious
With a 10.0, Groot Holthuizen is among the forty safest neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, and that figure stands on four offence types all lying below the national median — burglary at a mere fraction of it. This is a neighbourhood built almost entirely after 2000, which you see back in its residents: well over half of households have children and nearly three in ten inhabitants are under fifteen.
The bill arrives at amenities, a 4.3. The supermarket is three kilometres away, the GP two and a half; only the primary school is close, precisely the reason the families pillar does reach a 9.1 while amenities lags. The two pillars measure entirely different distances. The 4.0 for quiet & nature does not come from noise, which sits virtually on the median, but from a tree canopy at less than half the Dutch middle — young districts do not yet have mature trees.

Frequently asked questions
Is Groot Holthuizen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Groot Holthuizen comes out at 9 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Groot Holthuizen 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 Groot Holthuizen?
In Groot Holthuizen the police recorded 21 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (9 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 Groot Holthuizen calculated?
Groot Holthuizen 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 Groot Holthuizen 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.
