Everything for children close by, and little room

With a 9.9, Middenmeer-Noord ranks among the hundred highest-scoring neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, and quiet & nature is the item that does not keep up: a 2.9. Almost fifteen thousand residents per square kilometre, greenery within three hundred metres that is not even half the national middle, and no surface water — this is the city at full strength.

Set against that, GP, primary school, restaurant and station are all within a kilometre, most of them two hundred metres away. That explains both the 9.8 for amenities and the 9.9 for families, since the latter pillar turns largely on school distance.

Among offences the whole story sits in one type. Theft is above the national middle, while violence, burglary and vandalism all three sit far below it — the classic picture of a busy city neighbourhood where bicycles and belongings disappear, not of one where you would rather stay indoors after dark. Property values here are almost double the Dutch middle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Middenmeer-Noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Middenmeer-Noord 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 Middenmeer-Noord?

In Middenmeer-Noord the police recorded 94 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 Middenmeer-Noord calculated?

Middenmeer-Noord 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 Middenmeer-Noord 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.
