Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 9.3 for families is exceptional, and in Cellesbroek that score is earned in both of the ways it can be: the primary school lies five hundred metres away and children live in almost four in ten households. Usually only one of those two carries it.

The wealth score goes the other way, to a 3.9. The property value lies well over a quarter below the national median, households with a high income are rare there and the social assistance density comes out well above the ordinary level. One component does point the right way: the vacancy stays below the national share.

With the offences Cellesbroek comes out below the national level on all the types counted, and theft in particular is little registered there.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cellesbroek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Cellesbroek comes out at 20 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 Cellesbroek?

In Cellesbroek the police recorded 162 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Cellesbroek calculated?

Cellesbroek scores 8.5 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 Cellesbroek 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.
