Good for children, with a safety question
Eersel-Zuid scores 9.4 for families and 4.5 for safety, and both figures have a traceable source. The primary school is four hundred metres away and almost four in ten households have children; together those two carry the families figure.
The safety figure is pulled down by burglary. It sits at almost four times the national median here, while the total recorded-crime rate stays below the middle. Burglary weighs heavily within that pillar, so one deviant type drags an otherwise quiet picture down.
The wealth & income pillar comes to 4.7. Property values stay below the national median and the number of social assistance benefits per thousand residents is almost three times the Dutch middle. That last one is the only component genuinely out of step, because vacancy here is actually low.

Frequently asked questions
Is Eersel-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Eersel-Zuid comes out at 21 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 Eersel-Zuid?
In Eersel-Zuid the police recorded 42 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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-Zuid calculated?
Eersel-Zuid scores 5.5 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 Eersel-Zuid 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.
