Everything close by, little to spend
The nearest railway station to Oud-Vossemeer is almost fourteen kilometres away, and still amenities scores 8.5. That is because the station counts lightly in this pillar and everyday errands count heavily: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within half a kilometre.
The 4.3 for quiet & nature is more surprising in a village with this low building density. Noise sits neatly below the national median, but greenery and especially tree canopy around the buildings fall well under it; canopy cover here is roughly a third of what is usual nationally.
The wealth & income pillar stalls at 4.1, and that is mostly property value: it lies well below the national median. The income split diverges less than the score suggests.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oud-Vossemeer a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oud-Vossemeer comes out at 17 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-Vossemeer?
In Oud-Vossemeer the police recorded 49 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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-Vossemeer calculated?
Oud-Vossemeer scores 6.3 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-Vossemeer 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.
