Everything close by, little space
Wilhelminadorp has no safety score, and that changes what the total means: the 5.4 rests on four pillars instead of five. Comparing this neighbourhood with another is not quite comparing like with like.
What is there splits in two directions. Amenities are well arranged — shop, school and restaurant are all within half a kilometre, the station less than two — producing an 8.1. Against that stands a 3.6 for quiet & nature: greenery in the surroundings stays below the national median and traffic noise is above it.
Wealth & income stops at 4.2, and broadly so: property value below the median, few higher incomes, and a social assistance share well above the Dutch middle.
