Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children

The amenities figure for Mierlo-Dorp is missing, and with it every distance. Its overall score of 3.0 therefore rests on four pillars instead of five, and nothing can be said about the proximity of a shop, GP or school. The income breakdown is absent too: Statistics Netherlands does not publish it where there are too few households.

What the figures do show is social assistance, at almost double the national median, against property values sitting just below the middle. That explains the 5.0 for wealth & income better than the number itself suggests: the houses are ordinary, the incomes are not.

On safety, a 4.7, property crime is the engine — one and a half times the median — while violence barely exceeds it and burglary sits exactly on it. The 3.7 for families fits the age structure: almost three in ten residents are over 65 and just over one in eight under fifteen.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mierlo-Dorp a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Mierlo-Dorp comes out at 30 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 Mierlo-Dorp?

In Mierlo-Dorp the police recorded 103 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (30 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 Mierlo-Dorp calculated?

Mierlo-Dorp scores 3.0 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 Mierlo-Dorp 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.
