Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
At 62.7 decibels of noise exposure, no share of greenery keeps the quiet & nature pillar upright. Aalderinkshoek Noordwest sits eleven decibels above the national middle, and combined with nearly eight thousand residents per square kilometre that produces a 2.8 — two of the pillar's five components both pointing firmly the wrong way.
The wealth & income pillar is barely better at 2.7, and there social assistance is the outlier: more than ten times the national median, against a property value under half the national middle. The safety score of 6.9 is then better than the surroundings would suggest, though there is one crack in it: violence here runs at over twice the median, while theft and burglary stay well below.

The comparison figure above (23 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.
