Everything for children close by, and little room

The station is five hundred metres away and the primary school four hundred. Those two distances explain the 8.4 for amenities and the 9.6 for families in Het Oostrik, and they also explain something of the third figure: property crime here is at more than one and a half times the national median, while burglary is close to zero.

The safety pillar therefore stays at 5.3, with violence and vandalism above the middle too. What goes missing happens outside the home, not inside it.

The 3.3 for quiet & nature fits a neighbourhood with more than eight thousand residents per square kilometre: little green cover within three hundred metres, no open water and more noise than is usual nationally. On wealth & income the neighbourhood comes out at 3.8, with the property value far below the national median while social assistance and vacancy are not extreme.

Frequently asked questions

Is Het Oostrik a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Het Oostrik comes out at 32 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Het Oostrik?

In Het Oostrik the police recorded 90 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 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 Het Oostrik calculated?

Het Oostrik scores 6.0 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 Het Oostrik 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.
