neighbourhood in Vught
Helvoirt
4,085 residents · postal code 5268 · Part of Helvoirt, Vught
Safe, but few children
More than seventy per cent of Helvoirt's surroundings are green and fewer than two thousand people live per square kilometre, and still quiet & nature gets no further than a 6.7. The explanation lies in the other components of the pillar: noise is above the national median and water is absent entirely.
The families score of 6.2 does not come from distance — the primary school is seven hundred metres away. It lies in the age profile, with a quarter over 65 against fifteen per cent under fifteen.
Wealth & income reaches a 7.7 on every component at once: property values well above the national median, little social assistance, little vacancy and a more favourable income distribution than the national one. Only the railway station, over six kilometres away, drags the amenities score down.

Frequently asked questions
Is Helvoirt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Helvoirt comes out at 17 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 Helvoirt?
In Helvoirt the police recorded 94 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Helvoirt calculated?
Helvoirt scores 8.7 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 Helvoirt 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.
