Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
Dinxperlo West has two thirds of the national number of reported offences and still gets no higher than a 6.9 for safety. Violence here sits exactly on the national median and burglary is slightly above it; together those two determine the greater part of the pillar, and that weighs more heavily than the low total.
The 6.8 for quiet & nature does not come from pronounced greenery, which is at the national median, but from the low density and a noise level that stays below the median.
The wealth & income pillar is the weakest component at a 4.3. Property value is below the national median, the highest income group is thin, and the social assistance rate is above the median without being extreme.

How much crime is there in Dinxperlo West?

The comparison figure above (16 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 Dinxperlo West calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Dinxperlo West lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
