Well-off, and well out of town

Burglary in Oosteind is over four times above the national median, while violence, property crime and vandalism all three stay below it. The safety figure of 7.0 thereby hides precisely the offence that hits people at home.

The GP is over three kilometres away and the supermarket almost as far. Those are the two heaviest components of the amenities pillar, and together they largely explain the 3.9 — the primary school is close by, but it does not count there.

Quiet & nature comes out lower than the sparse building would suggest, at 4.4. The tree canopy here is less than half the national share and the noise level is above the median; greenery nearby is the only component that helps.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oosteind a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oosteind comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Oosteind?

In Oosteind the police recorded 21 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Oosteind calculated?

Oosteind scores 4.9 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 Oosteind 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.
