Everything for children close by, and little room
Reusel has fewer registered offences than the average in the Netherlands and still only ends up with a 4.5. That is because the two heaviest items both point the wrong way: violence rises above the national midpoint and burglary even threefold. Theft, which pulls the total down, counts considerably less.
With wealth the opposite happens. The social assistance rate stays below the Dutch level and the property value lies almost exactly on the national median, but the income distribution is skewed: few households in the top group, more than usual in the bottom one. That is where the 5.4 comes from, not from the bricks.
The railway station lies more than twenty-five kilometres away. That is the biggest drain on the 6.4 for amenities, because supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within a kilometre here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reusel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Reusel comes out at 23 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 Reusel?
In Reusel the police recorded 217 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Reusel calculated?
Reusel scores 4.7 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 Reusel 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.
