Safe, and nowhere really weak

Tree canopy in Plan Oost is almost two and a half times the national norm and more than three quarters of the surface within three hundred metres is green. That is where the 8.7 for quiet & nature comes from, and in Heiloo-Midden it is what carries the overall score.

The 6.5 for amenities is this neighbourhood's weakest figure and has a clear address: the GP is a good two kilometres away, while supermarket and restaurant are close by.

Safety comes out at 9.8, with reported offences at less than half the national middle and violence at less than half the median. Almost three in ten residents are 65 or older, and still families scores 9.1; that pillar mainly measures the distance to school, and here it is short.

Frequently asked questions

Is Plan Oost a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Plan Oost?

In Plan Oost the police recorded 22 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (10 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 Plan Oost calculated?

Plan Oost scores 9.9 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 Plan Oost 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.
