Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Eerbeekse Enk lands mid-table on every pillar, and that is exactly why it is worth looking at where the outliers within those figures sit. In the crime picture they are burglary and vandalism: both above the national median, while violence and property crime stay far below it. The total remains low enough for a 7.1, but its character is one of damage and opportunity.

The 4.8 for quiet & nature comes from two sides that contradict each other. Tree canopy is well above the national middle, but greenery close by stays below it and population density is substantial for a village centre.

Wealth & income gets stuck at a 4.4, with property values below the national median and a social assistance rate above it. The families pillar, at a 7.8, is the strongest point, carried by a primary school a short distance away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Eerbeekse Enk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Eerbeekse Enk comes out at 18 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 Eerbeekse Enk?

In Eerbeekse Enk the police recorded 61 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Eerbeekse Enk calculated?

Eerbeekse Enk scores 6.2 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 Eerbeekse Enk 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.
