Safe streets, thinner wallets
Oudehaske scores 9.9 for safety, and that figure does not rest on one favourable number: violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism all sit below the national median, burglary at a fraction of it. With nearly two thousand residents these are no longer chance figures but a consistent pattern.
The second striking thing is space. At a little under three hundred residents per square kilometre this is one of the thinly populated places in the statistics, and it feeds into the 8.4 for quiet & nature: plenty of greenery within three hundred metres, noise below the national middle. Yet tree canopy is actually sparse here, showing that green on the map and trees above your head are not the same thing. Wealth & income remains the weakest component at 5.9; the income distribution is exactly national, property value slightly below, social assistance just above. No outlier — simply average, beneath an overall score that is anything but.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oudehaske a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oudehaske comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Oudehaske is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Oudehaske?
In Oudehaske the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Oudehaske calculated?
Oudehaske scores 9.7 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 Oudehaske 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.
