Everything for children close by, and little room
With a 9.9, Tussen de Vaarten Noord-West is among the two hundred best-scoring neighbourhoods in the Netherlands for families. The primary school, the supermarket and a restaurant are all three hundred metres away and the station five hundred; walking further than a few streets is rarely needed here.
The quiet & nature pillar pays for that. There is no open water, greenery nearby stays below the national middle and so does the tree canopy, which together with the high density produces a 3.1.
Of the four types of reported offence, burglary is the only one clearly above the median; the total stays below it. The wealth & income pillar lags at a 4.3, with a social assistance rate that is a multiple of the national middle and property value below it.
