Safe, but not spacious
Goilberdingen West was built almost entirely after 2000, and the population came with the building: more than half of households have children and barely one in nine residents is over 65. That yields a 9.2 for families, with the school six hundred metres away.
The 9.7 for safety is strikingly firm. All four categories of offence lie below the national median, violence and burglary at a fraction of it, and with more than two thousand residents that is not the chance of a few reports.
The 4.2 for quiet & nature is the only real brake. Density is high and, more notably, the tree canopy covers under half of what is usual nationally — the greenery around it, by contrast, sits above the middle. Young trees in a young district do not make up the difference. On wealth & income, an 8.8, everything points the same way: high property values, many high incomes, few low ones, little social assistance and no vacancy.

How much crime is there in Goilberdingen West?

The comparison figure above (13 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.

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