Burghplan
2,975 residents · postal code 5643 · Part of Putten, Eindhoven
Everything for children close by, and little room
Burghplan scores an 8.9 for families while the share of children here is around the national level and fewer than three in ten households have children. The figure comes from the primary school four hundred metres away; that distance is by far the heaviest component of the pillar.
Wealth & income stands at 3.8, and there the rate of social assistance is the most striking item: almost six times the national level, while vacancy is in fact low and property value, though below the national median, is not extreme.
Quiet & nature comes out at 3.3, almost entirely because of the greenery: around the neighbourhood it reaches two thirds of the national median and there is no water at all. Noise plays a smaller part in it than density does.

Frequently asked questions
Is Burghplan a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Burghplan comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Burghplan is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Burghplan?
In Burghplan the police recorded 149 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Burghplan calculated?
Burghplan scores 4.0 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 Burghplan 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.
