Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Of all the figures on this page, the social assistance rate in Stokhasselt Oost is the most telling: it is of the order of a hundred and thirty-five per thousand residents, against barely eight nationally. Two in three households are in the lowest income group and property value is about half the Dutch median. That is where the 2.8 for wealth & income comes from, not from vacancy, which is strikingly low here.

The 4.4 for safety sits in the violence: it is more than three times the national middle, while burglary stays far below it and property offences are only just above. Against that stands a 9.7 for families, carried by a primary school and GP within half a kilometre and a large share of households with children. The station, though, is more than four kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Stokhasselt Oost a safe neighbourhood?

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

In Stokhasselt Oost the police recorded 80 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 Stokhasselt Oost calculated?

Stokhasselt Oost scores 5.4 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 Stokhasselt Oost 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.
