Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Rijkerswoerd-Midden scores an 8.8 for families, and here the figure is earned from both sides: the primary school is five hundred metres away and four in ten households have children. Usually distance carries such a score on its own.
The weakest point is the wealth & income pillar, and it is less uniform than a 5.2 suggests. The share of high incomes is above the national median and the share of low incomes below it, but the social assistance rate is almost three times the national figure and the property value lags behind. This is not a poor neighbourhood; it is a mixed one. Something comparable happens with amenities: shop, GP and restaurant are all within a kilometre, but the railway station is more than four kilometres away, and that single component holds the pillar at 7.3.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rijkerswoerd-Midden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Rijkerswoerd-Midden comes out at 18 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 Rijkerswoerd-Midden?
In Rijkerswoerd-Midden the police recorded 91 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Rijkerswoerd-Midden calculated?
Rijkerswoerd-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 Rijkerswoerd-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.
