Safe, but everything is a drive away
Practically all of Gernermarke-Oosterdalfsen was built after 2000, and that explains both the young population and the 9.8 for safety: all four offence types sit below the national median, violence and burglary far below.
What jars is the families pillar. A quarter of residents are under fifteen and more than four in ten households have children — you would expect better than a 5.5 from that. The difference is distance: the primary school is over a kilometre away, and school distance alone accounts for nearly a third of that pillar. The amenities pillar stays under five as well, with supermarket and GP one and a half to over two kilometres off. This is a new-build neighbourhood built around the car, not around the corner.
