Safe, but everything is a drive away
In Buitengebied Oene the supermarket, GP and primary school are all exactly a kilometre and a half away. That equality is coincidence, but its effects are not: amenities stay at 4.2 and the families pillar reaches 5.5, where most rural areas come out considerably lower on both.
Wealth & income stands broadly. Property value more than half above the national median, more households in the top income group than nationally, the bottom group exactly on the median, and no social assistance. Only vacancy runs higher than usual.
The tree canopy around this neighbourhood is strikingly thin — less than forty per cent of the national middle — while more than two thirds of the surroundings count as green and almost five per cent is water. The 9.0 for quiet & nature therefore comes mainly from silence and space, not from trees.

Frequently asked questions
Is Buitengebied Oene a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Buitengebied Oene?
In Buitengebied Oene the police recorded 12 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Buitengebied Oene calculated?
Buitengebied Oene scores 8.7 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 Buitengebied Oene 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.
