Everything for children close by, and little room

The 9.6 for families in Oud Grootebroek comes mainly from distance: the primary school is around the corner, and so are the supermarket and the GP. That keeps the daily round short, and it explains why this neighbourhood ranks in the best five per cent of the country on that pillar.

The flip side is in quiet & nature, and it is not a given for a neighbourhood outside the Randstad: greenery within three hundred metres stays well below the national median and the tree canopy is thin. Anyone moving here trades views for accessibility. The number of reported offences is below the national median, but not on every component — violence is slightly above it, and that is precisely the heaviest-weighted part of the safety pillar. That is where the difference lies between the 6.4 for safety and the higher scores elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oud Grootebroek a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oud Grootebroek 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 Oud Grootebroek?

In Oud Grootebroek the police recorded 31 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 Oud Grootebroek calculated?

Oud Grootebroek 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 Oud Grootebroek 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.
