Everything close by, safety lags
A ten for amenities beside a 2.7 for safety: Voorburg Midden midden ranks among the seventy best-served neighbourhoods in the country and among the weakest five per cent on reported offences. Supermarket and restaurant are a few hundred metres away, the station one and a half kilometres.
The safety side turns largely on one figure. Domestic burglary here runs at about seven times the national median, in a neighbourhood where almost all homes are flats. Because burglary is, after violence, the heaviest component of that pillar — and violence is at double as well — the score comes out this low.
At a 5.6, wealth & income is the average of contradictory signals: the income distribution is more favourable than the national one, but property values are below the median, the social assistance rate above it and vacancy at double. Three in ten residents are over sixty-five.

Frequently asked questions
Is Voorburg Midden midden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Voorburg Midden midden comes out at 46 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Voorburg Midden 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 Voorburg Midden midden?
In Voorburg Midden midden the police recorded 199 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (46 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 Voorburg Midden midden calculated?
Voorburg Midden midden scores 4.7 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 Voorburg Midden 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.
