We use Monte Carlo techniques to simulate the statistical properties of rotation-powered pulsars in the Gould Belt. The gamma-ray properties of these pulsars are calculated by using a self-consistent outer gap model and other pulsar properties, i.e., initial magnetic field and period, and velocity distribution of the neutrons stars at birth, are obtained from the statistics of radio pulsars. We obtain distributions of the magnetic inclination angle, period, distance and age for these gamma-ray pulsars in the Gould Belt.
