Everything close by, safety lags

All four types of offence are above the national middle here — violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism — and that explains the 4.0 for safety. No single type really stands out; it is the sum that makes the figure.

Against that stands an 8.1 for amenities and a 7.6 for families, both carried by distance: supermarket, GP and primary school are all within a kilometre. Anyone living in Oudorp-Noord has daily life within reach and pays for it with a crime figure above the national middle.

The wealth & income pillar stays at 6.0 despite a property value close to the national median. The social assistance rate is at more than one and a half times the middle while the income distribution barely differs from the national picture. So the outlier is not in what households earn but in how many of them receive benefits.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oudorp-Noord en Oudorp-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oudorp-Noord en Oudorp-Oost comes out at 33 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Oudorp-Noord en Oudorp-Oost?

In Oudorp-Noord en Oudorp-Oost the police recorded 104 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Oudorp-Noord en Oudorp-Oost calculated?

Oudorp-Noord en Oudorp-Oost scores 6.9 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 Oudorp-Noord en Oudorp-Oost 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.
