Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

More than a quarter of Boxtel-Oost is 65 or older, and yet the neighbourhood gets a 8.8 for families. That score mainly measures accessibility: the primary school is five hundred metres away, and school and childcare distance weigh more heavily in that pillar than the number of children. Anyone moving here with young children finds the school close by, but not necessarily many peers.

Set against that is a 4.6 for wealth. The property value stays far below the Dutch median, top incomes are scarcer than nationally, the lowest income group is thicker, and social assistance lies above the middle. No component pushes the other way.

On safety the picture is calm: none of the four types comes out above the national middle and burglary stays far below it. The 7.9 is one without an outlier.

Frequently asked questions

Is Boxtel-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Boxtel-Oost comes out at 19 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Boxtel-Oost?

In Boxtel-Oost the police recorded 206 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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-Oost calculated?

Boxtel-Oost scores 7.5 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-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.
