neighbourhood in Oldebroek
Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek
65 residents · postal code 8091 · Part of Wezep, Oldebroek
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
With some sixty-five residents, Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in the country, and that determines what you can and cannot read from it. There is no figure for amenities or for wealth & income, so the overall score of 2.6 rests on three pillars instead of five. Incomes and social assistance are missing because Statistics Netherlands does not publish them where there are too few households; the distances to shop, school and station are absent too.
The offence rate is above the national median, but at this size it comes down to a handful of reports, and no pattern can be read from that. What does give something to hold on to is the population and the surroundings: practically nobody under fifteen, two in three households consisting of one person, and around them a tree canopy almost five times as dense as the Dutch middle. That last figure produces an 8.0 for quiet & nature.

Frequently asked questions
Is Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek comes out at 31 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 Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek?
In Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek the police recorded 2 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek calculated?
Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek scores 2.6 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 Verspreide huizen Heide Hoek 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.
