neighbourhood in Oss
Mettegeupel
1,960 residents · postal code 5346 · Part of Krinkelhoek, Oss
Everything for children close by, and little room
Mettegeupel achieves a 9.9 for the overall score and that is not down to one pillar: safety, wealth & income and families all three sit high. On all four crime types the neighbourhood stays below the national middle, and property value, income distribution, social assistance and vacancy each point the favourable way.
The quiet & nature pillar, at 5.2, is the brake. Greenery and tree canopy are around or just below the national level and open water is absent; only the noise level is below the median.
The GP is almost two kilometres away and the station just over two, while the primary school is round the corner. Those distances explain why amenities stalls at 6.4 while families reaches 9.6 at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
Is Mettegeupel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Mettegeupel comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Mettegeupel 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 Mettegeupel?
In Mettegeupel the police recorded 29 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Mettegeupel calculated?
Mettegeupel scores 9.9 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 Mettegeupel 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.
