Safe, but everything is a drive away
Of the thirteen thousand neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, barely two hundred score higher on safety than Twistvlied-Wickelhof. Violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are all four far below the national median — a 9.9 that needs no qualification.
The rest of the picture is more moderate. Greenery in the surroundings is above the national middle, but tree canopy and noise sit less favourably, and that holds quiet & nature at a 6.3. Wealth & income comes out at a 6.8: property values are above the national median, vacancy far below it, but the social assistance rate is above the national middle.
The 6.8 for families deserves explaining alongside the previous figure. More than a quarter of residents are 65 or older and the share of children stays below the national picture; the primary school is close by, though, and without it this score would have been clearly lower.
