Oeffelt Centrum

Safe streets, thinner wallets
Oeffelt Centrum reaches 9.2 overall, and that rests mainly on safety: violence and burglary are at a fraction of the national median, theft and vandalism well below it. All four offence types stay under the national median, which is true of only a small share of Dutch neighbourhoods.
The quiet & nature pillar is less clear-cut than the greenery suggests. Over seventy per cent of the surroundings within three hundred metres counts as green, far above the national median, but the tree canopy is thinner than the national norm and there is no water. The resulting 6.7 is solid rather than exceptional.
The amenities are those of a village: supermarket, GP and primary school within six hundred metres, but the nearest restaurant over three kilometres away and the station six. That gap holds the pillar to 7.1.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oeffelt Centrum a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oeffelt Centrum comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Oeffelt Centrum is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Oeffelt Centrum?
In Oeffelt Centrum the police recorded 33 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Oeffelt Centrum calculated?
Oeffelt Centrum scores 9.2 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 Oeffelt 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.
