Everything close by, little to spend
In Oud Gastel incomes hardly deviate from the national picture: the share of top incomes is exactly on the Dutch line, the bottom group virtually so, social assistance use is modest and there is little vacancy. Still the wealth pillar gets no further than a 5.2, and that is entirely down to property value, which stays below the national middle.
Among the offences one type is out of tune. Violence, burglary and property crime are all three below the Dutch average, vandalism is almost double on top of it. That the safety score nevertheless comes out at a 7.2 is because vandalism weighs lightest of the four. What this neighbourhood in Halderberge lacks is the railway: the nearest station is a good six kilometres away, while supermarket, GP and school are within a kilometre.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oud Gastel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oud Gastel 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 Oud Gastel?
In Oud Gastel the police recorded 135 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 Oud Gastel calculated?
Oud Gastel scores 7.3 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 Oud Gastel 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.
