Well-off, but not spacious

With a 9.9, Oranje Nassau is among the hundred and fifty highest-scoring neighbourhoods in the country, and that score rests on a broad base: wealth & income, amenities and families all stand above nine. Almost half of households fall into the top income group, against roughly a fifth nationally.

The safety score of 7.1 stands out as the weakest of the four strong pillars, and the reason is one-sided. Property offences sit above the national median while violence runs at a quarter of it. Things disappear here; on the street it is calmer than in most neighbourhoods.

That calm does not extend to the pillar named after it. With over six thousand residents per square kilometre, quiet & nature stays at a 5.7, despite a tree canopy nearly three times as dense as the national norm.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oranje Nassau a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oranje Nassau comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Oranje Nassau?

In Oranje Nassau the police recorded 158 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Oranje Nassau calculated?

Oranje Nassau scores 9.9 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 Oranje Nassau 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.
