Everything close by, little to spend

In Oud Nieuwenhagen almost everything is around the corner: a GP and a primary school within half a kilometre, the supermarket barely further. That is where the 8.8 for amenities comes from. What is missing is spending power. The 2.8 for wealth & income rests not on one figure but on four that all point the same way: a property value far below the national middle, a thinner top layer of incomes, a broader bottom layer, and a rate of social assistance several times the national one.

The crime picture differs from what this building density would suggest. Property offences are actually below the national middle, while violence, burglary and vandalism all three come out above it. So it is not the disappearing bicycle that drags the safety score down here. The 7.5 for families leans on the short distance to school: the share of children in the neighbourhood itself is below the national middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oud Nieuwenhagen a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oud Nieuwenhagen comes out at 29 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 Nieuwenhagen?

In Oud Nieuwenhagen the police recorded 130 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (29 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 Nieuwenhagen calculated?

Oud Nieuwenhagen scores 3.8 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 Nieuwenhagen 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.
