Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Almost nineteen kilometres to the nearest railway station, while the GP and the primary school are three hundred metres away: Veghel Zuid 2 is complete within its own boundary and poorly connected beyond it. Amenities therefore comes out at 6.8, despite everything being around the corner.

That short school distance does deliver the neighbourhood's highest score: a 9.4 for families.

Against it stands a 3.7 for wealth & income, and that is broad-based. The top income group here is about half as wide as nationally, the bottom one over a third wider, property value stays well below the Dutch middle and social assistance runs at almost four times the median. It is the only pillar pulling the overall score down appreciably; safety, with every type of offence below the national middle, does the opposite.

Frequently asked questions

Is Veghel Zuid 2 a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Veghel Zuid 2?

In Veghel Zuid 2 the police recorded 31 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Veghel Zuid 2 calculated?

Veghel Zuid 2 scores 6.9 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 Veghel Zuid 2 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.
