Good for children, with a safety question
A 10.0 for families next to a 5.8 for safety — that is what Voorburg Oud noord turns on. The primary school is three hundred metres away and almost half of households have children; together those two components weigh heaviest in this pillar.
The safety figure comes almost entirely from theft. Property offences are well above the national median and burglary almost three times, while violence and vandalism stay below it. That is the pattern of a prosperous district where there is something to take, not of a place where you watch the street after dark.
Wealth & income is high across the board: property values far above the median, little social assistance, many higher incomes. Only vacancy is a fraction above the national level, and that gap is too small to mean anything.

Frequently asked questions
Is Voorburg Oud noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Voorburg Oud noord comes out at 27 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. 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 Oud noord?
In Voorburg Oud noord the police recorded 172 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Oud noord calculated?
Voorburg Oud noord scores 9.9 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 Oud 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.
