Good for children, with a safety question

A 3.7 for safety in a village centre looks odd until you see where it comes from. Burglary in Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers is more than six times the national median and property crime is well above it too, while violence sits exactly on the national middle and vandalism just below. So this is not about violence in the street but about what disappears from houses and cars.

Set against that is a population ageing fast: a third of residents are 65 or older. The families pillar still scores a 7.5, and that comes not from the children but from the primary school around the corner — school and childcare distance make up the largest part of that pillar.

What is missing is the train. The nearest station lies well outside the municipality; anything you want to reach here without a car has to be in the village itself.

Frequently asked questions

Is Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers comes out at 34 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 Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers?

In Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers the police recorded 156 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (34 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 Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers calculated?

Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers scores 5.4 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 Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers 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.
