Safe, but not spacious
The property value in Blaricummermeent is close to double the national median, more than four in ten households fall into the highest income group, the lowest group is clearly thinner than nationally, and social assistance and vacancy barely occur. Four components all pointing the same way, and together carrying the 9.8 for wealth & income.
The quiet & nature pillar shows what that has cost. The noise level is six decibels above the national middle, the tree canopy is not even two thirds of what is normal nationally, and greenery in the three hundred metres around them lags too. Everything here was built after 2000, and the tree canopy shows it.
Accessibility is the second bill: the railway station is ten kilometres away and the supermarket further off than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. What is close by is the primary school, and with more than three in ten residents under fifteen that counts heavily here.

How much crime is there in Blaricummermeent?

The comparison figure above (11 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Blaricummermeent calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Blaricummermeent lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
