Everything for children close by, and little room

Almost eight decibels above the national median: that noise level is the sharpest deviation in the whole set of figures for Kalsdonk, and it explains the 2.6 for quiet & nature better than density does. Greenery and tree canopy are below the median too, but less far.

The second tension sits between two scores that rarely lie so far apart. Families stands at 9.2, carried by a school five hundred metres away and almost four in ten households with children; wealth & income stands at 2.8, with benefits at nearly ten times the national level. The children are here, the money is not. The 3.1 for safety has no soft side: all four types of offence sit above the national median, vandalism at more than twice it. That vandalism figure is the component that weighs least in the pillar and yet deviates most.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kalsdonk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Kalsdonk comes out at 39 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Kalsdonk 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 Kalsdonk?

In Kalsdonk the police recorded 200 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (39 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 Kalsdonk calculated?

Kalsdonk 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 Kalsdonk 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.
