Everything close by, little space
The 7.8 for wealth & income in Muziekwijk Noord-Zuidwest does not come from property value, which sits almost exactly at the national median. It is the other components that make the score: hardly any vacancy, a social assistance rate below the national middle, more high-income households than average and fewer low-income ones.
Violence here comes out at less than a third of the national middle, while burglary is well above it; on balance that produces a 7.5 for safety.
The weak point is quiet & nature, at a 3.3. That is the flip side of the short distances: with more than seven thousand residents per square kilometre there is little room left for greenery, and open water is entirely absent.

The comparison figure above (20 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.

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