Everything close by, safety lags
A 9.3 for amenities alongside a 2.8 for safety: in Voorburg Midden noord everything is close at hand, and at the same time a great deal gets reported. That second score does not come from one type of offence. Violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four sit above the national middle. The picture of a place where mainly possessions disappear while the street stays calm therefore does not apply here.
The 8.8 for families says something other than what most readers see in it. That pillar consists largely of distance to school and childcare, and the primary school is close by. It is not down to the age profile: more than three in ten residents are over sixty-five, and half of all households are single-person. Anyone moving here with children gets short school routes, not a neighbourhood with many peers on the street.
The weak wealth pillar is weak across the board. Property value stays below the national median, the share of high incomes does too, and the social assistance rate is many times the national figure.

Frequently asked questions
Is Voorburg Midden noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Voorburg Midden noord comes out at 50 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Voorburg Midden noord 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 noord?
In Voorburg Midden noord the police recorded 179 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (50 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 noord calculated?
Voorburg Midden noord scores 4.6 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 noord 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.
