Well-off, and comfortable across the board

Property values in Muiderberg run half again above the national median, and together with a third of households in the top income group and social assistance below the national figure, that carries the 8.3 for wealth & income. Property value is by far the heaviest component within it; the slightly raised vacancy changes little.

On safety it pays to look at the categories. The total is clearly below the median and vandalism barely occurs, but burglary is more than twice the national rate. Violence sits exactly at the national middle. That makes the 7.0 an average of extremes rather than a calm picture. The families pillar stands well at 7.4, carried by a primary school five hundred metres away and more than a third of households with children — though nearly three in ten residents here are 65 or over, which shows the pillar is about access, not about who lives there.

Frequently asked questions

Is Muiderberg a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Muiderberg?

In Muiderberg the police recorded 38 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (16 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 Muiderberg calculated?

Muiderberg scores 8.7 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 Muiderberg 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.
