Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Almost thirty kilometres to the nearest railway station — that is the distance which determines everything in Oudelandse Hoeve that is not part of daily life. Supermarket, GP and primary school are within six hundred metres, and that combination still produces a 7.3 for amenities. Anyone living here without a car experiences something other than what the figure suggests.

The wealth & income pillar is the weakest of the five and it is so across the board: the property value is half the national middle, the social assistance rate almost seven times it, and more than half of households fall into the lowest income group. Not one component points the other way.

The families score of 8.3 rests on the short school distance and not on the population: more than a third of residents here are 65 or over.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oudelandse Hoeve a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oudelandse Hoeve comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Oudelandse Hoeve is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Oudelandse Hoeve?

In Oudelandse Hoeve the police recorded 93 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Oudelandse Hoeve calculated?

Oudelandse Hoeve scores 3.4 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 Oudelandse Hoeve 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.
