Vroomshoop-Oost is the eastern part of the village of Vroomshoop, a small core in the municipality of Twenterand in the Twente peat reclamation landscape.

The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (675 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (635 people). This says something about the pace and atmosphere: it is a neighbourhood where people put down roots, not a place with much turnover.
