Everything close by, safety lags

What pulls Brabantpark out of line is not the total crime — that is only slightly above the national middle — but burglary. That occurs here almost three times as often as usual, and burglary counts heavily in the safety figure. Vandalism is also higher than normal. That is how a neighbourhood with an apparently ordinary offence figure still comes out at a 3.5.

The 5.4 for families has a simpler explanation: the primary school is a kilometre away and only about a fifth of households have children. Both components point downwards, and the distances to childcare and secondary education — which count in the same pillar — are not even on this page. Wealth remains stuck at a 3.9 despite a property value that does not deviate extremely; it is the benefits and the share of low incomes that make that figure.

Frequently asked questions

Is Brabantpark a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Brabantpark 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 Brabantpark?

In Brabantpark the police recorded 459 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 Brabantpark calculated?

Brabantpark scores 3.7 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 Brabantpark 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.
