Everything close by, little space
Fewer offences are reported in Stedenwijk Midden-west than in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and still the safety pillar hangs at a 5.8. The reason is in the breakdown: burglary here is almost ten times the national middle, while violence and theft are below it.
For a resident that is a very concrete message. The risk is not the street but the front door, and after violence, burglary is the component that counts most heavily in this figure.
Beyond that, this is a neighbourhood that works well in practical terms without being young: the supermarket, the GP and the primary school are all within six hundred metres, which yields a 9.1 for amenities and an 8.8 for families, while more than a quarter of residents are 65 or older.
