Oirschot: a village slowly retreating into itself
Oirschot is a Brabant village that at first glance looks well-kept and quiet. The historic centre with the Sint-Petruskerk and the characteristic Markt gives the village a recognisable face. Residents appreciate the safety and the surroundings: on the neighbourhood page of Oirschot on Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores 8.4 out of 10, with highs for safety (9.0) and beauty (9.0). Accessibility and green space both score 8.5, which matches the image of a village that is well-connected via the A58 and surrounded by nature, including the Oirschotse Heide.
Yet there is also a critical note. Gitte, who has lived in Oirschot her whole life, writes in her review: "Our neighbourhood used to have lots of activities, but now unfortunately nothing anymore. Neighbours used to all know each other, but now hardly anyone knows each other and there is little conversation." Her score of 6.9 contrasts with the average and touches on something that occurs more often in villages that grow without their social structure growing along. The largest age group in Oirschot is 45 to 65 years old, followed by those aged 65 and over. This colours daily life: it is quiet, the neighbourhood is safe, but it is not bustling.

I've lived here my whole life. When I was a child, our neighbourhood still had lots of activities, but unfortunately nothing anymore now. At first, all the neighbours knew each other and I was friends with many children from the neighbourhood, but now almost no one knows each other anymore and people hardly talk to each other.
