Safe, but few children

For Someren centrum the amenities pillar is missing; the overall score here rests on four pillars instead of five. That is no detail: for most neighbourhoods, distances to supermarket, GP and station are precisely what lifts a village centre.

What has been measured points one way. More than a third of residents are 65 or older, the share of children is below the national middle, and households with children are in the minority. The 3.1 for families follows from that.

Safety stands well at an 8.2: violence, burglary and vandalism are below the national median and only theft comes marginally above. Income figures and vacancy are missing from wealth & income too, so the 5.5 rests on fewer components than usual — property values, just under the national middle, carry the most weight there.

Frequently asked questions

Is Someren centrum a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Someren centrum comes out at 21 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 Someren centrum?

In Someren centrum the police recorded 91 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Someren centrum calculated?

Someren centrum scores 4.2 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 Someren centrum 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.
