Nieuwleusen Centrum-zuid
2,000 residents · postal code 7711 · Part of Nieuwleusen, Dalfsen
Safe, but everything is a drive away
Forty-four decibels of traffic noise, more than seven below the national median: Nieuwleusen Centrum-zuid is demonstrably quiet. Even so the quiet & nature pillar gets no further than 6.8, because greenery within three hundred metres sits around the national median and water is absent.
The score that does stand out is safety, at 9.6. All four offence types are below the national median, violence and vandalism at roughly half of it.
The amenities pillar stays at 5.4 because of one distance: the railway station is over ten kilometres away, while the supermarket and the primary school are within seven hundred metres. That same short walk to school carries the 9.2 for families, together with almost four in ten households with children. For anyone living here without a car, the station is the only real problem on the list.
