In 2001, the village of Oudelande had 255 inhabitants. The built-up area of the village was 0.085 km², and contained 123 residences.[2] The statistical area "Oudelande", which also can include the peripheral parts of the village, as well as the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 740.[3]
