Everything close by, little space

In Oud Zuid more than twice as many property offences are recorded as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, while violence stays well below it and vandalism and burglary barely differ. That is the profile of a place where possessions disappear, not of a neighbourhood that is uneasy on the street at night — and because violence weighs heaviest, the pillar still holds a 6.1.

Property value here sits almost a fifth above the national median and social assistance well above the Dutch figure; the latter is the only component working against the wealth & income pillar.

On quiet & nature it is the noise that stands out. Greenery and tree canopy both sit above the median, but the noise level is three decibels above it and density is on the high side for this size.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oud Zuid a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oud Zuid 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 Oud Zuid?

In Oud Zuid the police recorded 99 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 Oud Zuid calculated?

Oud Zuid 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 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.
