Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Losser-Oost is one of those neighbourhoods where the crime figure almost coincides with the Dutch average, and that holds for each of the four recorded categories: violence and vandalism lie slightly below, burglary exactly on it and theft barely above. A 6.4 for safety without a single striking category is rarer than it looks.

On wealth the picture is clearer. The property value stays well below the national middle and high incomes occur roughly half as often as nationally; that produces a 3.7, despite little vacancy.

The noise level lies a good two decibels below the national figure and few people live on a lot of ground — that is where the 5.6 for quiet & nature comes from. That it does not come out higher is down to the greenery, which in the immediate surroundings stays below the national picture.

Frequently asked questions

Is Losser-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Losser-Oost comes out at 25 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 Losser-Oost?

In Losser-Oost the police recorded 153 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Losser-Oost calculated?

Losser-Oost scores 5.4 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 Losser-Oost 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.
