neighbourhood in Lansingerland
Oranjebuurt
2,120 residents · postal code 2665 · Part of Bleiswijk, Lansingerland
Everything for children close by, and little room
Almost a third of the residents of the Oranjebuurt are 65 or older, and yet families stands at 9.3. That pillar consists largely of the distance to school and childcare, and the primary school is four hundred metres away. The score measures what is reachable, not who lives here.
The 5.5 for wealth & income points two ways. Property value is above the national median and more households are in the top income group than nationally, but the share in the bottom group is above it too and the social assistance rate is almost double the national median. Expensive homes and divergent incomes on the same streets.
The 3.0 for quiet & nature is the neighbourhood's lowest score. Noise above the median, greenery and trees below it, no open water and more than six thousand residents per square kilometre: none of the components falls favourably here.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oranjebuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oranjebuurt comes out at 21 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 56 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (21 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 7.6 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 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.
