Everything close by, little to spend
A tree canopy nearly three times the national share is what lifts Boxtel-Noord to its 7.2 for quiet & nature, in an area with more than four thousand residents per square kilometre. Greenery and noise both sit around the national median; it is the trees that make the difference.
The wealth & income pillar goes the other way, at 3.8, with a social assistance rate four times the national one and a property value well below the median. At the same time vacancy is low and incomes are not extreme: this is not an area emptying out, but it is one where money is thinly spread. The 4.1 for safety shows how the weighting works out. Property crime, the most numerous type, stays below the national median here, but violence and burglary are both above it, and those two together determine nearly sixty per cent of the pillar.

Frequently asked questions
Is Boxtel-Noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Boxtel-Noord comes out at 29 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 Boxtel-Noord?
In Boxtel-Noord the police recorded 149 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (29 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 Boxtel-Noord calculated?
Boxtel-Noord scores 5.3 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 Boxtel-Noord 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.
