neighbourhood in Eindhoven
Villapark
2,475 residents · postal code 5613 · Part of De Laak, Eindhoven
Well-off, but not spacious
Of all recorded offences in Villapark, more than seven in ten are property crime. Violence is below the national median, vandalism exactly on it; it is theft and burglary that make the 4.6 for safety. That is a different kind of insecurity from what the figure suggests at first glance.
The wealth & income pillar stands at an 8.2 and leans mainly on the property value, which is well above the Dutch average; the share of households in the highest income bracket is almost double the national figure too. The social assistance rate runs counter to this and is higher than the median, so this neighbourhood is not prosperous across the board. Quiet & nature stays at a 4.2, with the share of greenery within three hundred metres at little more than half the national level.

Frequently asked questions
Is Villapark a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Villapark comes out at 45 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Villapark 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 Villapark?
In Villapark the police recorded 191 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (45 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 Villapark calculated?
Villapark scores 7.2 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 Villapark 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.
