Safe, but few children

Millingen aan de Rijn-West has its primary school seven hundred metres away and still gets no further than a 4.5 for families. That gap lies in the population: a little over one in ten residents is under fifteen, against nearly three in ten who have passed sixty-five.

Safety stands in a very different place. Violence, burglary, property offences and criminal damage are all four below the national median, burglary at a fraction of it, and the total stalls at barely more than half the national figure. That produces a 9.7.

Amenities are pulled down by one distance. Supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within seven hundred metres, but the railway station is more than sixteen kilometres away, and that component weighs heavily enough to hold the score at a 6.5. Quiet & nature reaches a 7.3, with noise far below the national median.

Frequently asked questions

Is Millingen aan de Rijn-West a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Millingen aan de Rijn-West?

In Millingen aan de Rijn-West the police recorded 47 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Millingen aan de Rijn-West calculated?

Millingen aan de Rijn-West scores 7.5 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 Millingen aan de Rijn-West 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.
