Safe, but not spacious
Six minutes' walk to the station and still a 3.0 for quiet & nature: in Tussen de Vaarten Noord-Oost the railway station is six hundred metres away, and traffic noise is almost five decibels above the national median. There is also no open water and greenery stays just below the middle.
That low quiet score says nothing about crime, which is not part of this pillar. The safety pillar stands apart from it and reaches an 8.8: violence, burglary and theft are all below the national middle, theft at a fraction of it.
Half of households here have children and the primary school is around the corner; that amply explains the 8.5 for families, even though the share of children itself is not exceptional.
