Everything close by, little to spend

In Oldenbarneveld almost five per cent of residents receive social assistance, more than six times the rate of the average Dutch neighbourhood. On top of that the share of high incomes is less than half the national middle and the share of low incomes far above it. Every component points the same way, and together they produce a 3.6 for wealth & income.

That contrasts sharply with an 8.9 for amenities and an 8.2 for families. Everything here is within walking distance: supermarket, restaurant, school and station all within a kilometre and a half. For anyone without a car, and with this income picture there will be plenty, that is the difference between keeping up and not.

The price shows in the 3.7 for quiet & nature. With almost six thousand residents per square kilometre, no water nearby and less greenery than usual, this is compactly built ground. Proximity and space do not go together here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oldenbarneveld a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oldenbarneveld comes out at 21 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Oldenbarneveld?

In Oldenbarneveld the police recorded 53 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Oldenbarneveld calculated?

Oldenbarneveld 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 Oldenbarneveld 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.
