Everything close by, little space

Oud Noord in Zandvoort sits at 4.3 for wealth & income, and that figure is unambiguous: few households with a high income, many with a low one, a property value below the national median and social assistance several times the national level. Only vacancy is low — almost nothing here stands empty, in a neighbourhood where one in three homes is owner-occupied.

The 2.9 for quiet & nature is the lowest of the five. Noise levels are more than five decibels above the national median, the green in the surroundings below it, there is no surface water within the neighbourhood boundaries, and more than six thousand people live here per square kilometre. Among offences the total is below the national median; only violence rises slightly above it, and that pushes the 7.8 for safety below what such a low total would suggest.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oud Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oud Noord 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 Noord?

In Oud Noord the police recorded 43 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 Noord calculated?

Oud Noord scores 6.4 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 Noord 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.
