Everything for children close by, and little room

A 9.8 for families alongside a 2.6 for quiet & nature: Het Ooij is a place of short distances and little space. The primary school is around the corner, more than four in ten households have children, and at the same time many people live on little land, with little greenery and hardly any tree canopy close by.

Wealth & income comes out at a 3.5. The share of high incomes is small, almost half of households fall into the lowest income group and the social assistance rate is far above the national middle. Only vacancy is exceptionally low — virtually nothing here stands empty.

The crime picture sits around the national middle, with vandalism the only clear outlier upwards. The 5.7 for safety is therefore the most average figure this area has.

Frequently asked questions

Is Het Ooij a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Het Ooij comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Het Ooij?

In Het Ooij the police recorded 84 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Het Ooij calculated?

Het Ooij scores 4.7 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 Het Ooij 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.
