Safe, but not spacious
Hardly any neighbourhood in the Netherlands gets a 10.0 for safety. Park van de Tijden-Oost has one: all four types of offence run at a fraction of the national median, burglary at practically zero.
The age profile is just as pronounced. Six in ten households have children and the share of over-65s is small compared with the national middle. Together with the primary school eight hundred metres away that produces a 9.5 for families — so here the score is not only distance, but also who lives there.
The 7.6 for wealth & income is less clear-cut. Property value and the share of high incomes are well above the national middle, but social assistance runs three times the median. And that quiet & nature stalls at 4.1 is striking given how little ambient noise there is: it comes from the density and from less greenery and tree canopy nearby than the country has on average.
