Everything close by, little space
The railway station is just over a kilometre from Oude Dorp and the noise level is among the highest in this area; the quiet & nature pillar therefore gets no further than 3.6, while density is not exceptional for a village core.
The amenities pillar benefits from that same position and reaches 8.5: supermarket, restaurant and station are all close by. That is the trade this neighbourhood makes, and it can be read straight off the two scores.
Among the offences only burglary is above the national median; violence and theft stay below and vandalism sits exactly on it. The wealth & income pillar comes out at 5.7 — property value and incomes are close to the national average, but the social assistance rate is clearly above it, and that is the component holding the score down.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oude Dorp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oude Dorp comes out at 21 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 Oude Dorp?
In Oude Dorp the police recorded 126 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 Oude Dorp calculated?
Oude Dorp scores 6.7 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 Oude Dorp 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.
