neighbourhood in Deventer
Oudegoedstraat
1,350 residents · postal code 7413 · Part of Voorstad, Deventer
Everything for children close by, and little room
With nearly ten thousand residents per square kilometre, Oudegoedstraat is one of Deventer's most densely built neighbourhoods, and the quiet & nature pillar pays for it: a 3.0, with the green share at two thirds of the national middle and noise well above it.
Set against that is a 9.1 for families, resting on the primary school four hundred metres away — not on the number of children, which here matches the national average. The safety score of 6.0 needs explaining: theft runs at over one and a half times the national median and accounts for close to half of all reported offences, while burglary is virtually absent and violence sits on the national middle. Bikes and belongings go missing; the street after dark is that of an ordinary city neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oudegoedstraat a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oudegoedstraat comes out at 35 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 Oudegoedstraat?
In Oudegoedstraat the police recorded 65 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (35 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 Oudegoedstraat calculated?
Oudegoedstraat scores 7.0 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 Oudegoedstraat 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.
