Everything for children close by, and little room

In Oranjebuurt almost a quarter of residents are under fifteen and nearly half of households have children. The 9.7 for families, though, rests mainly on distance: the primary school is round the corner, and that component weighs more than the share of children itself. Here the two happen to coincide.

The railway station is over six kilometres away and yet the neighbourhood scores 9.1 for amenities. That is because the station and the hospital together carry a quarter of the pillar, while the heaviest components — supermarket and GP — are within a few hundred metres. Anyone commuting by train notices little of that high score.

The 5.8 for safety does not come from the total, which stays below the national middle, but from the violence figure, the only type above it and the one that determines almost a third of the pillar.

The 3.4 for quiet & nature belongs to the density: over seven thousand people on a square kilometre, less green space than is usual nationally and a thin tree canopy.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oranjebuurt a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, 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 Oranjebuurt?

In Oranjebuurt the police recorded 52 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 Oranjebuurt calculated?

Oranjebuurt scores 7.9 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 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.
