neighbourhood in Apeldoorn
Zuidbroek - Mozaïek & Rooster
6,625 residents · postal code 7323 · Part of Noordoost, Apeldoorn
Safe, but not spacious
A 9.3 for families usually only means that the school is close by. In Zuidbroek - Mozaïek & Rooster the figure holds on the other components too: almost two in three households have children and the share of young residents is far above the national one. That rarely comes together like this.
The 4.3 for quiet & nature has nothing to do with crime — that sits in another pillar, and there it is all but absent: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four lie below the national median. Quiet measures density, noise, greenery, tree canopy and water. The noise level is not bad, but the canopy above these streets reaches a third of what is usual nationally and the greenery in the surroundings lags behind.
The wealth score of 7.8 leans on the property value, which is well above the median, and on a social assistance figure that stays below the national one.
