2,455 residents · postal code 5408 · Part of Volkel, Maashorst
Safe, but not spacious
Kom Volkel has a low building density and yet only a 3.1 for quiet & nature. That is almost entirely down to noise, because the level here is nearly ten decibels above the national median, and noise is one of five equally weighted components of that pillar. The greenery in the surroundings is below the Dutch average too.
Against that stands an 8.2 for safety, with all four types of reported offence below the national median. Amenities arrives at a 7.6 despite a railway station eighteen kilometres away, because supermarket, GP, primary school and restaurant are all close by. The wealth & income pillar stops at a 5.1: the property value is just below the median and the share of households on a high income clearly beneath it.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kom Volkel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Kom Volkel comes out at 19 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 Kom Volkel?
In Kom Volkel the police recorded 57 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Kom Volkel calculated?
Kom Volkel scores 6.6 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 Kom Volkel 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.
