Everything close by, little space
With almost eleven thousand residents per square kilometre, Gerrit van Stellingwerfstraat e.o. is densely built-up ground, and the 2.8 for quiet & nature follows directly from that: under thirty-five per cent greenery within three hundred metres, against more than half nationally.
The safety figure of 7.4 conceals a lopsided distribution. The total number of registrations stays below the national median and violence is rare, but vandalism is more than twice above it. That is nuisance in the streetscape, not danger at night. Wealth & income comes to a 5.5 with a below-median property value and a lot of social assistance on one side, and an income distribution slightly better than the national one on the other. Shops, GP and school are all within a kilometre.
