Safe streets, thinner wallets
Ossendrecht is quiet, and the measurements show why: noise sits six decibels below the national median, two thirds of the surroundings are green and the tree canopy is more than twice as dense as in the average Dutch neighbourhood. Hence the 8.4 for quiet & nature.
The families pillar stalls at a 6.0 even though the primary school is six hundred metres away. So the explanation lies in who lives there: more than a quarter of residents are 65 or older and only twelve per cent are under fifteen.
On wealth & income, vacancy is the component that stands out — it is above the national median here, which alongside a property value under the median pushes the score further back to a 4.5. Social assistance, by contrast, stays modest.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ossendrecht a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Ossendrecht comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Ossendrecht is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Ossendrecht?
In Ossendrecht the police recorded 79 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 Ossendrecht calculated?
Ossendrecht scores 8.0 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 Ossendrecht 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.
