Woubrugge-West
1,800 residents · postal code 2481 · Part of Woubrugge, Kaag en Braassem
Everything for children close by, and little room
Woubrugge-West has school, GP and shop all within six hundred metres, yielding an 8.8 for families and a 7.2 for amenities. What that costs shows in the 3.2 for quiet & nature: more than seven thousand residents per square kilometre, little greenery immediately around and a tree canopy at half the national level.
The 5.5 for wealth & income is a mixed figure and worth unpacking. Property values sit just below the national median, the income distribution barely differs and vacancy is unusually low, but the rate of social assistance is twice the national level. One component, then, keeps the pillar in the middle of the pack.
The safety picture is calm: none of the four types is above the national middle, and the total stays well under it. Hence the 7.8.

Frequently asked questions
Is Woubrugge-West a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Woubrugge-West 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 Woubrugge-West?
In Woubrugge-West the police recorded 35 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 Woubrugge-West calculated?
Woubrugge-West scores 7.3 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 Woubrugge-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.
