Everything close by, little to spend
A 9.9 for amenities is hard to improve on: the supermarket, the GP, a restaurant and even the railway station are all within a kilometre in Oudenbosch-Centrum. Yet the overall score stays at 4.9, and that is down to the two pillars that make a central location expensive.
The number of reported offences here is almost twice as high as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and that sits almost entirely in theft and vandalism. Theft alone is double the national level, while burglary stays below it and violence is slightly above.
The wealth & income pillar comes out at 3.1. Property value is far below the median, the social assistance rate well above it and the top income group is thin; only vacancy sits exactly on the national average, which given these figures is not bad.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oudenbosch-Centrum a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oudenbosch-Centrum comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Oudenbosch-Centrum 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 Oudenbosch-Centrum?
In Oudenbosch-Centrum the police recorded 261 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Oudenbosch-Centrum calculated?
Oudenbosch-Centrum scores 4.9 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 Oudenbosch-Centrum 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.
