Everything close by, safety lags

Barely any home in Rijnbuurt-Midden is a single-family home and fewer than a quarter are owner-occupied. Even so, wealth & income scores 7.3, and it is property value carrying that: it stands almost thirty per cent above the national median and weighs more heavily in the pillar than any other single component. The picture is mixed, though — the share of high incomes is well above the middle, but the social assistance rate runs more than twice above it and vacancy is above it too.

The 3.5 for safety comes from theft, which is at almost double the national median, but violence is well above it as well. This is not a neighbourhood where only bicycles go missing.

The families pillar reaches 8.0 while only one in six households has children. That is down to the school four hundred metres away; distance weighs more there than who lives here. Over half the households are single-person.

Frequently asked questions

Is Rijnbuurt-Midden a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Rijnbuurt-Midden comes out at 42 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Rijnbuurt-Midden is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Rijnbuurt-Midden?

In Rijnbuurt-Midden the police recorded 154 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (42 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 Rijnbuurt-Midden calculated?

Rijnbuurt-Midden scores 8.0 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 Rijnbuurt-Midden 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.
