Everything for children close by, and little room
The wealth & income pillar of Parkwijk Noordoost is a sum of opposing signals. The social assistance rate is well above the national middle, while there are actually more high-income households than average, fewer low-income ones, and vacancy is close to zero. A 5.9 is the balance of that, not the picture of a poor or a rich neighbourhood.
On safety things are clearer. Violence, theft and vandalism are all below the national middle and only burglary comes slightly above it; the total number of reported offences stays well under the median.
Half of households have children and everything a family needs day to day is within six hundred metres. That is where the 9.8 for families comes from.

How much crime is there in Parkwijk Noordoost?
