Everything for children close by, and little room
Two scores above nine and one below three: Tussen de Vaarten Z.- Zuidwest has a profile you rarely see this sharply drawn. Safety and families both sit near the top of the country, quiet & nature almost at the bottom.
That quiet score does not come from noise — measured noise levels here are below the national middle. It comes from the setting: greenery nearby stays well under the national figure and tree canopy covers not even a quarter of it, in a neighbourhood with more than seven thousand residents per square kilometre. Anyone looking for stillness will find it here; anyone looking for trees will not. Safety meanwhile rests on all four offence types below the national middle, and the primary school round the corner explains most of the families score of 9.8.
