It has 11,205 inhabitants (as of 1 January 2013) and covers an area of 81.3 hectares (0.314 sq mi).[1] It is bordered by the Carnegielaan, the Zeestraat, the Hoge Wal and the Prinsessewal to the north-east, the Veenkade to the south, the Waldeck Pyrmontkade to the south-west and the Laan van Meerdervoort to the Carnegielaan to the north.
