Safe, but few children

Norg scores a 9.0 for safety, but that figure hides one outlier: burglary occurs twice as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, while violence, vandalism and property offences stay far below it. For a village with a total crime rate well under the national median, that is the one thing residents would factor in.

The 4.7 for families is the other side of the same coin. More than a third of residents are 65 or over and the primary school is just past the kilometre mark — together enough to keep that pillar below the middle, in a village that otherwise takes an 8.4 for quiet & nature on ample greenery, many trees and little noise. That space costs reach: the railway station is more than fifteen kilometres away.

Frequently asked questions

Is Norg a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Norg comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Norg is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Norg?

In Norg the police recorded 58 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Norg calculated?

Norg scores 7.2 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 Norg 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.
