Everything close by, little space

Voorburg Noord noord is one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in the country, and that density sets both ends of this page. Everything is close by — station, supermarket and restaurant within a kilometre — and the quiet and nature pillar drops to 2.8, with greenery far below the national middle and noise exposure well above it.

The wealth pillar cannot be read in one direction. The share of high incomes is well above the national middle and that of low incomes below it, but property value stays under the median, the social assistance rate is more than double and vacancy above it. High incomes and cheap homes live side by side here.

Among the offences the picture is clearer than the total suggests. Property crime is nearly double the national median, while violence, burglary and vandalism all stay below it — the profile of a busy place where things go missing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Voorburg Noord noord a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Voorburg Noord noord comes out at 26 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Voorburg Noord noord?

In Voorburg Noord noord the police recorded 124 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (26 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 Noord noord calculated?

Voorburg Noord noord scores 6.2 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 Noord 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.
