Everything close by, little to spend

Oirsbeek combines something that rarely goes together: a building density at village level with an 8.2 for amenities. Supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within eight hundred metres, and the station just over three kilometres away. Space without having to drive for it.

The safety pillar hangs at 6.0 while the total number of reported offences is below the national middle. That is down to burglary, which here stands at almost double the median, and to vandalism, which is above it too. Violence and property offences are in fact below it.

The wealth & income pillar is divided, which makes the figure hard to read in one direction. The property value stays below the national median and the social assistance rate is above it, but the income distribution points the other way: the highest group is slightly broader than nationally and the lowest thinner. More than a quarter of residents are 65 or older.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oirsbeek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oirsbeek comes out at 22 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 Oirsbeek?

In Oirsbeek the police recorded 95 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Oirsbeek calculated?

Oirsbeek scores 6.6 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 Oirsbeek 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.
