Everything close by, little to spend

A quarter of the surface of Maasbracht is water, and in these figures that is no decoration: water is one of the five components the quiet score is made up of. It lifts that score to a 6.7, while the greenery within three hundred metres stays below the national level.

The 4.1 for wealth comes almost entirely from the property value: it lies a good quarter below the national middle. The income distribution deviates only slightly and little stands vacant; only the social assistance figure lies well above the median. And although the total number of offences stays below the national level, safety gets no further than a 6.2 — violence and vandalism both lie just above it, and violence carries the most weight within that pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Maasbracht a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Maasbracht comes out at 24 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 Maasbracht?

In Maasbracht the police recorded 190 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Maasbracht calculated?

Maasbracht scores 5.7 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 Maasbracht 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.
