Everything for children close by, and little room
Burglary in Voorburg West noord occurs more than five times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and property crime nearly twice as often. Violence and vandalism, by contrast, sit below. That is a pronounced profile: the risk here is at the front door and with what is parked outside, not in public order. Hence the 4.8 for safety alongside an 8.7 overall score.
The quiet & nature pillar, at 3.0, is the weakest component. Over eight thousand residents per square kilometre, traffic noise almost eight decibels above the national median and no open water — a tree canopy above the middle does not offset that.
Set against it are a 9.3 for amenities and a 9.4 for families: station, GP, school and restaurant are all within a kilometre. Living here puts everything within reach, and you hear it too.

Frequently asked questions
Is Voorburg West noord a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Voorburg West noord comes out at 31 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 West noord?
In Voorburg West noord the police recorded 84 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 West noord calculated?
Voorburg West noord scores 8.7 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 West 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.
