Bottom 4% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, safety lags

The Centrum of Uden records more reported offences per thousand residents than there are people living in a single street: more than four times the national median, half of it property crime. Violence too is four times the middle here, so this is not merely shoplifting.

Those who live here are largely alone and older. Almost two thirds of households consist of one person, more than four in ten residents are 65 or older and the share of children is negligible. Yet the families pillar comes out at 5.8, and that is entirely down to the primary school five hundred metres away — the population contributes nothing to it.

Quiet & nature drops to 2.9, with greenery at just over half the national middle and noise more than four decibels above. Every amenity is around the corner; the space around it is not.

Frequently asked questions

Is Centrum a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Centrum comes out at 102 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Centrum 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 Centrum?

In Centrum the police recorded 578 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (102 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 Centrum calculated?

Centrum scores 2.8 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 Centrum 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.
