Everything for children close by, and little room

On wealth & income, Molenstraat en omgeving is almost literally the national middle. The share of higher incomes sits exactly on the national median, the share of lower ones a point above, property value just below and vacancy precisely on it. Only social assistance deviates, and considerably — that is what explains the 5.1 in a neighbourhood that otherwise looks average.

The strength of this Vught neighbourhood lies in its short distances: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all four within six hundred metres and the station one and a half kilometres away. That yields a 9.1 for amenities and, together with the high share of households with children, a 9.3 for families.

Quiet & nature lags at a 3.4. Greenery within three hundred metres does not reach two thirds of the national level and there is no surface water.

Frequently asked questions

Is Molenstraat en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Molenstraat en omgeving comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Molenstraat en omgeving?

In Molenstraat en omgeving the police recorded 94 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Molenstraat en omgeving calculated?

Molenstraat en omgeving scores 8.0 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 Molenstraat en omgeving 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.
