Everything close by, little space
A sixth of the surface area of Broek op Langedijk kern is water, and that is the only component of the quiet & nature pillar that comes out favourably here. Greenery, tree canopy and noise all three lie on the wrong side of the national middle, which is why that score stays at a 5.2 despite all that water.
The offence figures tell a story in two parts: theft is above the national middle and violence slightly above, while burglary and vandalism stay below. The total therefore lands almost exactly at the median, and the safety score of 5.9 sits close to it.
The wealth picture is near the national average on every point — property values just below the median, the income groups barely off it, the social assistance rate just above. Such neighbourhoods exist, and this is one: the 6.0 comes from no single strong or weak component.
