Safe, but not spacious
De Notel's 7.2 for wealth & income is almost entirely the work of one component. The share of high incomes, the share of low incomes and the social assistance rate all sit virtually exactly on the national median; what lifts the score is the property value, clearly above it, together with low vacancy.
The safety pillar is more clear-cut: violence, property crime and vandalism are far below the national median and burglary sits exactly on it. That produces a 9.6.
The weak spot is quiet & nature, stuck at 5.2. The tree canopy is broader than nationally and it is quieter than average, but there is less greenery around than the median and surface water is entirely absent. Quiet in Oirschot is therefore not the same as silence: the measurement also looks at what surrounds you.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Notel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Notel comes out at 10 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: De Notel 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 De Notel?
In De Notel the police recorded 39 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (10 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 De Notel calculated?
De Notel scores 9.4 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 De Notel 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.
