Bottom 10% in the Netherlands

Everything close by, safety lags

Hulsdonk is old. More than four in ten residents are 65 or over and fewer than one in ten are under fifteen; that is one of the most lopsided age profiles you will find in the Netherlands. The families pillar sticks at 5.0 even though the primary school is close by, so that gap lies in the share of children, not in the distance.

The overall score of 3.2 comes from two other directions. Safety stands at 3.0, almost entirely through theft: that figure is more than twice the national middle, while violence sits only slightly above it. And quiet & nature gets no further than 3.7, with a lot of traffic noise and little greenery around. Wealth & income is the only component that lands near the national level.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hulsdonk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Hulsdonk comes out at 46 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Hulsdonk is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Hulsdonk?

In Hulsdonk the police recorded 75 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (46 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 Hulsdonk calculated?

Hulsdonk scores 3.2 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 Hulsdonk 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.
