Everything close by, little to spend
Violence is almost absent in Oud-Stein — it stands at a fraction of the national middle — and property crime and vandalism stay below it too. Only burglary rises slightly above. That is where the 8.7 for safety comes from, in an area with low density and a good deal of water around it.
The wealth & income column is divided, and that is the more interesting side. The share of high incomes lies above the national middle, but so does the share of low incomes, while property value stays below the median and social assistance beneath it. This is neither a poor nor a rich neighbourhood, but one with a wide spread between households — and property value, which weighs the most, keeps the pillar at a 4.7.
The primary school is six hundred metres away, so the 6.2 for families does not come from distance. The share of children is small here and more than a third of residents are 65 or over.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oud-Stein a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oud-Stein 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-Stein?
In Oud-Stein the police recorded 69 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-Stein calculated?
Oud-Stein scores 8.9 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 Oud-Stein 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.
