neighbourhood in Almere
Brugmark, Noordmark en Gildemark
505 residents · postal code 1351 · Part of De Marken, Almere
Safe, but not spacious
All four types of reported offence here are below the national middle, and that gives Brugmark, Noordmark en Gildemark a 9.4 for safety, this neighbourhood's highest score.
The quiet & nature pillar trails furthest behind at a 4.9, and that is not for lack of greenery, which is roughly at the national level. It is traffic noise and the complete absence of open water that depress the score.
Three in ten residents are 65 or older and almost all homes are owner-occupied; still the families pillar reaches a 7.0, mainly because the primary school is eight hundred metres away. That is the pattern of an ageing neighbourhood that works well for families in practical terms without many children living there.
