Everything close by, little to spend
The tree canopy in Oud-Loon is more than four times as dense as the national middle, and greenery within three hundred metres is well above the median. That would produce a top score for quiet & nature, were it not that the noise level here comes out clearly above the national figure. Hence 7.4 rather than a nine: plenty of woodland, but not silent.
The amenities side has the same double bottom. Shop, restaurant and school are all within six hundred metres, but the nearest station is nine kilometres away. Anyone living here without a car notices that straight away.
The wealth & income score of 4.9 follows from a property value below the median and more low incomes than is nationally usual, while the rate of social assistance sits at the national level. And with almost a third of residents over sixty-five, this is one of the more aged spots in Brabant.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oud-Loon a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oud-Loon comes out at 23 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-Loon?
In Oud-Loon the police recorded 79 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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-Loon calculated?
Oud-Loon scores 7.8 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-Loon 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.
