Too few residents for a rate per resident: these are counts.

Bavel AC has too few residents for a reliable rate per 1,000 residents (under 200), so counts are shown instead of a comparison. In 2025, 5 crimes were registered, against 2 in 2021. Crimes are counted where they happen, not where the offender lives.

Traffic accidents by outcome

In 2023, police in Bavel AC registered 3 traffic accidents, of which 2 with injury and none fatal.

2021
2023
FatalInjuryMaterial damage only
Explanation

Registered accidents (BRON, Rijkswaterstaat); material-damage-only accidents have not been systematically registered since roughly 2010 and are not comparable between areas. This area shows only accidents with an exactly known location (roughly 80-85% of all registered accidents); the rest is known only at street, intersection or gemeente level. The comparison with the gemeente therefore also uses only the gemeente's exactly-located accidents, which is why that figure is lower than on the gemeente's own page.

Agricultural land is the largest land use in Bavel AC, covering 90% of the area, against 69% in Alphen-Chaam. Green space such as parks, sports fields, forest and nature covers 5% of the area, 20 percentage points below the 25% in Alphen-Chaam.

  • Traffic2.6%
  • Built-up2.6%
  • Agriculture89.5%
  • Forest and nature5.2%
Explanation

Every share is calculated as a percentage of the TOTAL area (land and water together, peiljaar 2022); water is therefore one of the slices itself, not a separate whole. Green is the sum of recreational terrain (parks, sport fields, allotments, day recreation) and natural terrain (forest, open natural terrain) — agricultural land is not counted as green here.

Passenger cars by fuel type

25% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 20% in the municipality of Alphen-Chaam (2025).

  • Petrol75%
  • Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)25%
Explanation

CBS splits passenger cars into 'petrol' and 'other fuel' only. That second category bundles diesel, LPG, electric (including hybrid), hydrogen, alcohol, LNG and CNG together — CBS publishes no separate electric-car count per buurt, wijk or gemeente, so this is not the same as an 'electric share'.

Share on other fuel per year

The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 29% to 25% between 2021 and 2025.
