Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The canopy above Orden is more than three times as dense as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, the greenery in the surroundings is well above it and it is quieter there than is usual nationally. That makes the 8.1 for quiet & nature, and it is at once the sharpest contrast with what stands on the other side in the same neighbourhood.
Wealth & income, namely, gets no further than a 3.7. Social assistance here is more than five times above the national middle, the property value far below it, and low incomes occur clearly more often. Only vacancy points the other way.
With the offences the picture is mixed: the total is close to the national one, violence and burglary below it, only vandalism above. The 7.0 for safety therefore follows more from that distribution than from the total figure.

Frequently asked questions
Is Orden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Orden comes out at 26 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Orden?
In Orden the police recorded 205 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Orden calculated?
Orden scores 7.8 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 Orden 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.
