Everything close by, safety lags

The number of reported offences in Oostpoort is more than six times the national median, and nearly two thirds of that is property crime. Violence is far above it too. That yields a 2.8 for safety, by some distance the neighbourhood's lowest score.

At the same time amenities stands at 10.0, putting Oostpoort among the hundred most accessible neighbourhoods in the Netherlands: everything is within walking distance, the station included. Those two figures belong together — this is the profile of a busy urban hub, where most of what gets reported involves belongings.

The 7.3 for wealth & income rests mainly on property value and on a large share of high incomes. The social assistance rate, by contrast, is far above the national median, so this is no uniformly affluent place. Greenery and tree canopy meanwhile stay far below the national median; the 3.1 for quiet & nature follows directly from that.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oostpoort a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oostpoort comes out at 151 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Oostpoort is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Oostpoort?

In Oostpoort the police recorded 570 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (151 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 Oostpoort calculated?

Oostpoort scores 7.4 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 Oostpoort 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.
