Everything close by, little to spend
The wealth & income pillar of Oranjebuurt-Zuid comes out at 4.1 while there is nothing unusual about incomes: the share of high incomes is exactly at the national median, the share of low incomes just below it. What pulls the score down is property value, at almost four tenths of this pillar its heaviest component, and here it is far below the national median. A low wealth score here mainly means cheap housing, not poor households.
Against that stands a 9.2 for amenities. Station, GP, school and restaurant are all within walking distance.
The quiet & nature pillar lags at 4.8, and that comes not from noise or greenery — both sit close to the national median — but from built density, which at almost five thousand residents per square kilometre is urban.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oranjebuurt-Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Oranjebuurt-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 Oranjebuurt-Zuid?
In Oranjebuurt-Zuid the police recorded 37 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-Zuid calculated?
Oranjebuurt-Zuid scores 7.7 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-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.
