Everything close by, little to spend

Vandalism in Oranjekwartier is recorded almost three times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and violence is well above the national middle too. Theft is not, since it stays below. The 3.9 for safety therefore comes from different offences here than in a typical city-centre neighbourhood.

The wealth & income pillar stands at a 2.8, with a property value at just over half the national median and a social assistance rate almost ten times above it. Against that stands a 9.0 for amenities: GP, restaurant and primary school are half a kilometre away or less. That same short school distance lifts the families pillar to an 8.8, while the share of households with children sits simply around the national average.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oranjekwartier a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oranjekwartier comes out at 33 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Oranjekwartier?

In Oranjekwartier the police recorded 97 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Oranjekwartier calculated?

Oranjekwartier scores 4.6 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 Oranjekwartier 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.
