Nuenen-Zuid

Safe, but not spacious
Almost a third of the residents of Nuenen-Zuid are 65 or older. That makes the 7.1 for families less contradictory than it seems: that pillar is mainly about the distance to school and childcare, and that distance is short here.
Quiet gets no further than a 5.9, while the tree canopy here covers almost twice as much surface as in the rest of the country. The noise level holds that score back, because it rises above the national median; greenery lies at the Dutch midpoint and water is entirely absent.
The wealth pillar achieves a 6.8 without outliers: property value and high incomes lie above the national picture, the vacancy below it, and the social assistance rate slightly above.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nuenen-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Nuenen-Zuid comes out at 20 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 Nuenen-Zuid?
In Nuenen-Zuid the police recorded 187 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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-Zuid calculated?
Nuenen-Zuid scores 7.8 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 Nuenen-Zuid 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.
