Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
More than fourteen kilometres to the nearest station, and still a 6.7 for amenities: in Oud-Beijerland Croonenburghwijk supermarket, GP and restaurant are all around the corner, and together they count almost three times as heavily as the train. Anyone living here without a car experiences something other than the score suggests.
The primary school three hundred metres away carries the 9.5 for families almost single-handedly, in an area where nearly a third of residents are 65 or over. That pillar measures reach, not population make-up, and this is a pure example of it.
The safety figure of 6.0 is a middle position with a lopsided split: violence and property crime lie below the national middle, while burglary is well above it and vandalism slightly. The wealth & income column lags on the rate of social assistance, which is almost three times the national median.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oud-Beijerland Croonenburghwijk a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oud-Beijerland Croonenburghwijk comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Oud-Beijerland Croonenburghwijk?
In Oud-Beijerland Croonenburghwijk the police recorded 107 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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-Beijerland Croonenburghwijk calculated?
Oud-Beijerland Croonenburghwijk scores 6.7 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 Oud-Beijerland Croonenburghwijk 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.
