Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Budel is quiet, but does not score green. The noise is below the Dutch middle and few people live per square kilometre, while both the measured vegetation around the addresses and the tree canopy stay below the national level and open water is entirely absent. That combination produces a 4.8 for quiet — low for a village centre.
On safety there is exactly one outlier upwards: burglary, at almost double the Dutch middle. Violence is at the national level, theft and vandalism below it. Because burglary counts second most heavily after violence, that one category pushes the score down to a 6.2 while the crime total stays below the Dutch middle.
Wealth comes out at a 4.5, mainly because of a property value that lies below the national middle. The income distribution deviates from it only to a limited extent, and social assistance, while above the Dutch level, is not spectacularly so.

Frequently asked questions
Is Budel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Budel comes out at 20 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 Budel?
In Budel the police recorded 208 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Budel calculated?
Budel scores 5.8 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 Budel 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.
