Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Bar one component, the wealth & income pillar in Eeuwsels points the same way: property values sit well below the Dutch median, high incomes occur half as often as nationally, low incomes rather more often and social assistance runs well above. Only vacancy is exceptionally low. The 3.8 is therefore no measurement error but a consistent picture, and it stands next to an overall score of 8.0.

That overall figure comes from the other side of the profile. For quiet & nature the neighbourhood scores an 8.1 — more greenery than nationally, a denser tree canopy and noise around the Dutch median, at a population density that is low for an urban neighbourhood.

The 9.6 for families rests on two things at once, which is unusual: the primary school is four hundred metres away, and four in ten households have children. In many neighbourhoods distance alone carries that figure; here the residents join in. The number of reported offences sits almost exactly at the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Eeuwsels a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Eeuwsels comes out at 25 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Eeuwsels?

In Eeuwsels the police recorded 113 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Eeuwsels calculated?

Eeuwsels scores 8.0 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 Eeuwsels 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.
