Well-off, but not spacious

Wilgenrijk was built almost entirely after the turn of the century, and it shows in its residents: two thirds of households have children and the share of over-65s is exceptionally low. Even so, the families pillar gets no higher than 7.7, and the reason is in the distances — the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and school distance is the heaviest component of that pillar.

Wealth & income stands at 8.5 and is broadly supported: high property values, many high incomes, few low ones and little social assistance. Only vacancy is twice the national figure here. Where it really pinches is reach beyond the neighbourhood: the railway station is fourteen kilometres away, and that is the main reason the amenities pillar stays at 5.2.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wilgenrijk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Wilgenrijk comes out at 19 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Wilgenrijk?

In Wilgenrijk the police recorded 42 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Wilgenrijk calculated?

Wilgenrijk scores 8.3 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 Wilgenrijk 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.
