Everything for children close by, and little room
The railway station is sixteen kilometres away, and still Oud-Beijerland Zuidwijk manages a 7.6 for amenities. That is because the everyday things are close by: supermarket, primary school and restaurant are all within a kilometre. The pillar weighs distance to a station at sixteen per cent and the supermarket at more, and that is exactly why the figure holds up. For a commuter it is nonetheless the number that counts.
The 8.1 for safety is built up strikingly one-sidedly. Residential burglary is negligibly rare here, far below the national median, and theft sits at a fraction of the Dutch level. Only violence and vandalism run slightly above.
The 5.2 for wealth & income jars against an overall score of 8.9. The share of high incomes sits above the national figure and vacancy is low, but property values remain under the Dutch median and social assistance runs well above. That is a mixed picture, not a weak one.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oud-Beijerland Zuidwijk a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oud-Beijerland Zuidwijk 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-Beijerland Zuidwijk?
In Oud-Beijerland Zuidwijk the police recorded 85 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-Beijerland Zuidwijk calculated?
Oud-Beijerland Zuidwijk scores 8.9 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 Oud-Beijerland Zuidwijk 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.
