Well-off, and well out of town
Rarely do a neighbourhood's figures line up so uniformly. Robbenhaarsweg Noord scores 9.9 for wealth & income, and that rests not on one component but on all four: a property value nearly double the national middle, twice as many households in the top income group as nationally, an under-represented bottom group and not a single social assistance claim. All four offence types sit below the national median as well.
What is missing is proximity. The station is almost five kilometres off, the supermarket nearly two, and the amenities pillar stays below five as a result — the one figure here that lags behind. Nine in ten homes were built after 2000 and six in ten households have children; this is a young new-build neighbourhood at a distance from the town.
