Safe, but not spacious

Osseveld-Oost records more offences than the average Dutch neighbourhood and still ends up with a 8.2 for safety. That is possible because the pillar does not count how *much* happens but *what*. Theft lies well above the national average here, while violence and burglary — together good for almost sixty per cent of the weight — stay clearly below it. What goes wrong mainly affects possessions, not people.

The weak point lies elsewhere. With a 4.8 for quiet & nature this neighbourhood belongs to the lesser half of the country, and that does not come from noise: the greenery around it lags well behind what is usual nationally, and many people live per square kilometre.

The 6.6 for wealth & income meanwhile rests on a property value that barely escapes the median, with incomes that compare favourably.

Frequently asked questions

Is Osseveld-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Osseveld-Oost comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 8.2. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 28 records per 1,000, 0.9 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Osseveld-Oost?

In Osseveld-Oost the police recorded 176 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Osseveld-Oost calculated?

Osseveld-Oost scores 8.7 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 Osseveld-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.
