Good for children, with a safety question
Tuindorp Oostzaan-Oost consists almost entirely of single-family homes, which is rare in Amsterdam. Together with a primary school four hundred metres away and more than a third of households having children, that produces a 9.6 for families.
Wealth & income lags far behind at a 4.9, and property value is not the cause: it sits above the national median. The score is set by social assistance, at seven times the Dutch middle, and by the large share of households on a low income.
Safety comes out at a 4.4. Property crime here is below the median; it is violence and vandalism that rise well above it, a different pattern from the city centre, where mainly things go missing.
