Safe streets, thinner wallets
Twenty-nine kilometres to the nearest railway station, almost five to the nearest restaurant, but supermarket, GP and primary school all within four hundred metres. Ooltgensplaat woonkern is a place where daily life is compact and everything beyond it is a journey.
The safety pillar stands at 9.8. All four categories of reported offence stay well below the national median, burglary and theft at a fraction of it.
The weak spot is the wealth & income pillar, and it can hardly be softened: the property value is two thirds of the Dutch middle and the social assistance rate almost twice above it, while the income spread deviates only slightly. So it is mainly the value of the homes that keeps this score at 4.1 — and that is precisely the component residents feel least in their pocket.
