Everything for children close by, and little room
Violence is the only category of offence in Oud Krimpen that comes out above the national middle, at nearly double it. Burglary, theft and vandalism all stay below. That makes the 5.4 for safety a figure with one clear cause, and it is the cause that affects residents most directly.
The distances vary widely here. Supermarket and restaurant are within a kilometre, but the GP is more than two kilometres away and the primary school 1.2. In a neighbourhood with fewer than fifteen hundred inhabitants per square kilometre, that explains the 6.1 for amenities and a 7.4 for families that comes out lower than the high share of households with children would suggest.
The wealth figures all sit just above or just below the Dutch middle.

Is Oud Krimpen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oud Krimpen comes out at 24 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Oud Krimpen?
In Oud Krimpen the police recorded 93 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Krimpen calculated?
Oud Krimpen scores 6.3 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 Krimpen lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
