The municipal agglomeration of Eindhoven (an administrative construct which includes only some of the surrounding towns and villages) has 327,245 inhabitants as of 1 January 2010.

The spoken language is a combination of Kempenlands (a [[Dutch language|Dutch]] dialect spoken in a large area east and south east of the city, including Arendonk and Lommel in Belgium) and North [[Meierij]]s (between the south of [[Den Bosch]] and into Eindhoven). Both dialects belong to the [[East Brabantian]] dialect group), which is very similar to colloquial [[Dutch language|Dutch]]).<ref>Jos & Cor Swanenberg: Taal in stad en land: Oost-Brabants, {{ISBN|9012090105}}</ref>

===Religion===
Eindhoven is located in the southeast of the [[Provinces of the Netherlands|province]] of [[North Brabant]]. This area is historically [[Catholic]] and the population of Eindhoven was similarly mostly Catholic for a very long time until the late 1970s. However, the internationalizing influence of the university, Philips and other companies have created a more mixed population over the last few decades.

The spiritual needs of the Eindhoven population are tended to by a steadily shrinking number of churches,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://rvk.dse.nl/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=30 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101022225733/http://www.rvk.dse.nl/ |archive-date=22 October 2010}}</ref> two mosques and one synagogue.

===Crime===
In research by the Dutch newspaper [[Algemeen Dagblad]] based on the police's [[Statistics|statistical data]] on [[Crime statistics|crime rates]], Eindhoven was found to have the highest crime rate in the Netherlands for 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2010. In 2011, Eindhoven has slipped down the list to number six.<ref name="Rotterdam onveiligste gemeente">{{cite web |url=http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1012/Binnenland/article/detail/2443794/2011/06/10/Rotterdam-onveiligste-gemeente.dhtml |title=Rotterdam onveiligste gemeente - Binnenland - AD |access-date=11 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613204248/http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1012/Binnenland/article/detail/2443794/2011/06/10/Rotterdam-onveiligste-gemeente.dhtml |archive-date=13 June 2011}}</ref>

* Eindhoven does not have its own, uniform dialect. Varieties of the [[Brabantian dialect]] used to be spoken in the former villages of Gestel, Woensel and Stratum, but are now almost extinct. The closest city to Eindhoven in which Brabantian is spoken is [[Helmond]].<ref name="daniels"/>
