Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The railway station is eight hundred metres from Oud Zuid, unusually close for a neighbourhood in Duiven-Noord, and it keeps the amenities score at 7.4. Even so the overall score gets no further than 7.0, and the brake is easy to identify.

Wealth & income stands at 3.4 and that figure is low across the board: property value stays well below the Dutch median, the top income group is almost half as broad as nationally, the bottom one wider, and the social assistance rate is more than three times the middle. Only vacancy lands exactly on the national level. Against that sits a quiet crime picture: violence, burglary, property crime and criminal damage are all four below the Dutch median, and that produces a 7.9 for safety.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oud Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oud Zuid 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 Oud Zuid?

In Oud Zuid the police recorded 62 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 Oud Zuid calculated?

Oud Zuid scores 7.0 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 Oud Zuid 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.
