neighbourhood in Gorinchem
Oost II
90 residents · postal code 4207 · Part of Bedrijventerrein Oost, Gorinchem
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
Oost II has ninety residents on an industrial estate, and that shows in the figures: there is no score for amenities or wealth & income, so the overall figure rests on three pillars here instead of five. Statistics Netherlands does not publish incomes and social assistance where there are so few households; that is set policy, not an omission.
What is there is substantial. The number of reported offences per thousand residents is a multiple of the national median, mainly through property crime. On an estate with ninety residents and many business premises such a figure is divided by a small number of inhabitants, while the reports come from the whole area.
The quiet & nature pillar shows something similar: the noise level here is more than twelve decibels above the national median, while greenery and water stay closer to average. A 4.8 is the result.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oost II a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oost II comes out at 86 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Oost II is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Oost II?
In Oost II the police recorded 51 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (86 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 Oost II calculated?
Oost II scores 2.7 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 Oost II 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.
