Everything close by, except school and childcare

A third of Nuenen-Noord is 65 or older, and that is where the 5.8 for families comes from — not from the distances. The primary school is around the corner; what is missing are the children themselves. The share under fifteen comes nowhere near the national middle and households with children are in the minority here.

The 6.8 for safety comes from a single corner. Violence and vandalism lie below the national median, the number of household burglaries lies well over twice above it — and burglary carries the most weight in that pillar after violence. That one outlier drags the score down while the streets are quieter than in the average Dutch neighbourhood. Also striking for a neighbourhood with a property value far above the national middle is the vacancy, which is one and a half times as high as usual.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nuenen-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Nuenen-Noord comes out at 22 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 Nuenen-Noord?

In Nuenen-Noord the police recorded 180 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Nuenen-Noord calculated?

Nuenen-Noord scores 8.6 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 Nuenen-Noord 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.
