neighbourhood in Meierijstad
Olland
560 residents · postal code 5491 · Part of Sint-Oedenrode, Meierijstad
School close by, shops further off
Olland shows more sharply than most neighbourhoods that distance to amenities and distance to school are two different things. The supermarket and the GP are more than four kilometres away, giving the amenities pillar a 3.7; the primary school is three hundred metres off and lifts the families pillar to 9.5. People here drive to do the shopping and walk the children to school.
The wealth & income pillar comes out at 8.8, and that is largely property value, a third above the national median. The income distribution points the same way without outliers, social assistance does not appear in the figures and vacancy stays below the national middle. Safety is likewise strong at 8.3, though in a village of just over five hundred residents the numbers are small enough that a single registration moves the score noticeably.

Frequently asked questions
Is Olland a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Olland comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Olland 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 Olland?
In Olland the police recorded 6 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Olland calculated?
Olland scores 8.8 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 Olland 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.
