Everything close by, little to spend

None of the five pillars of Bloemen/Oranjebuurt drops below six, and that is where the overall score of 9.1 comes from — not from an outlier but from the absence of a gap.

The 9.4 for amenities is the highest figure: GP three hundred metres away, supermarket and restaurant within seven hundred, station a kilometre and a half. That last one is exceptionally close for a neighbourhood of this size.

The 6.4 for safety is lower than the crime total suggests, which stays well below the national median. Burglary is the component above it here, at almost twice the national level; violence, theft and criminal damage all three stay below.

The 6.3 for wealth & income shows a neighbourhood that deviates sharply on no component at all: property value practically on the national median, social assistance rate slightly above it, income distribution slightly more favourable than nationally. Quiet & nature too lands close to the middle on every measure.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bloemen/Oranjebuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Bloemen/Oranjebuurt comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Bloemen/Oranjebuurt?

In Bloemen/Oranjebuurt the police recorded 56 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Bloemen/Oranjebuurt calculated?

Bloemen/Oranjebuurt scores 9.1 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 Bloemen/Oranjebuurt 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.
