Rode Beek has too few residents for a reliable rate per 1,000 residents (under 200), so counts are shown instead of a comparison. In 2025, 8 crimes were registered, against 8 in 2021. Crimes are counted where they happen, not where the offender lives.
8 crimes were registered in Rode Beek in 2025 (8 in 2021).

In 2024, police in Rode Beek registered 2 traffic accidents, of which 0 with injury and none fatal.
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.

Built-up land is the largest land use in Rode Beek, covering 74% of the area, against 43% in Brunssum. Green space such as parks, sports fields, forest and nature covers 5% of the area, 27 percentage points below the 32% in Brunssum.
5% of the area is green (parks, sport, nature), against 32% in the municipality of Brunssum.
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.

61% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 15% in the municipality of Brunssum (2025).
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'.

The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 44% to 61% between 2021 and 2025.
See the 'Passenger cars by fuel type' card for what 'other fuel' covers — this is not the share of electric cars.
