Everything close by, safety lags
Almost two thirds of all recorded offences in Cuijk kern are property crime, and that figure runs at more than three times the national median. Violence barely rises above it. The 3.5 for safety therefore comes from one direction, and it is the direction you would expect in a service village with many visitors.
Nearly four in ten residents are 65 or older — an exceptionally old population. The families pillar consequently stays at a 6.0 while the primary school is six hundred metres away: the distances are short, the share of children is not.
The wealth & income pillar reaches a 3.6, and that is broadly based. The top income group here is small, the share of low incomes large and the social assistance rate almost three times the national one. Only vacancy falls within the usual range.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cuijk kern a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Cuijk kern comes out at 53 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Cuijk kern 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 Cuijk kern?
In Cuijk kern the police recorded 325 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (53 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 Cuijk kern calculated?
Cuijk kern scores 4.4 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 Cuijk kern 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.
