Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children

A quarter of the property in Oud-Loosdrecht stands empty, more than six times the national figure. That is remarkable in a neighbourhood where property value is nearly double the Dutch median and the social assistance rate barely deviates from the middle. Vacancy counts within the wealth & income pillar, and without that item the 8.2 would have been higher.

Water covers more than fifty per cent of the surface and the noise level runs well below the national middle; that is where the 8.8 for quiet & nature comes from.

The price sits in health care and education. The GP is 3.4 kilometres away, the primary school one kilometre and the station just over seven. For a family with young children or an older resident without a car, that is the decisive line on this page, and it is where the 3.5 for families comes from.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oud-Loosdrecht a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oud-Loosdrecht 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-Loosdrecht?

In Oud-Loosdrecht the police recorded 78 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-Loosdrecht calculated?

Oud-Loosdrecht scores 7.6 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-Loosdrecht 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.
