Plenty of space, less prosperity
For three of the four types of offence in De Ooi there is little going on: violence, burglary and property crime are all below the national middle. The outlier is vandalism, at more than twice the median. That is visible damage in public space, not something that reaches residents inside their homes, and it explains why the safety pillar stays at 7.4 rather than higher.
The 2.9 for wealth & income allows no such nuance. The property value is at just over half the national median, half of households are in the lowest income group, the share of high incomes is small and social assistance is paid out more than five times as often as nationally. Only vacancy stays below the national level.
At 7.8 quiet & nature is the strongest pillar, carried by little noise and a sizeable water surface. Green cover and trees are around the national average and add or subtract little.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Ooi a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Ooi 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 De Ooi?
In De Ooi the police recorded 51 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 De Ooi calculated?
De Ooi scores 6.2 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 De Ooi 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.
