neighbourhood in Elburg
Oostendorp
1,800 residents · postal code 8081 · Part of Elburg, Elburg
Everything for children close by, and little room
Oostendorp scores 9.2 for families while almost a third of residents are 65 or older. That is no contradiction: almost two thirds of that pillar is distance to school and childcare, and the primary school here is five hundred metres away. Almost four in ten households have children, but the score would be high without them.
Wealth & income gives the most mixed picture in this neighbourhood. The social assistance rate is below the national middle and virtually nothing stands empty, but the share of lower incomes runs above the median and the property value just under it. That produces a 5.7, right in the middle.
The station is more than five kilometres away; supermarket and GP both about a kilometre. In that order, the latter pair weighs heaviest.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oostendorp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oostendorp comes out at 18 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 Oostendorp?
In Oostendorp the police recorded 38 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Oostendorp calculated?
Oostendorp scores 7.8 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 Oostendorp 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.
