In 2025, Meerdijk registered 28 crimes per 1,000 residents, against 44 in the municipality of Oss.
Crime is counted where it happens and divided by the number of residents, so places with many visitors — city centres, nightlife, stations — score higher.

In 2024, police in Meerdijk registered 3 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.

Agricultural land is the largest land use in Meerdijk, covering 78% of the area, against 67% in Oss. Green space such as parks, sports fields, forest and nature covers 9% of the area, in line with the 9% in Oss.
9% of the area is green (parks, sport, nature), against 9% in the municipality of Oss.
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.

Meerdijk has an average of 0.3 cars per household, 75% lower than in Oss (1.2). 17% of cars run on something other than petrol (diesel, LPG or electricity, hybrids included), 8 percentage points less than in Oss (25%).

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 25% to 18% 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.
