Everything close by, little to spend
The safety figure for Oosterhoogebrug is missing, and that is more than a gap in the table: the overall score of 5.4 rests here on four pillars instead of five. So nothing can be said about crime, not even that it is modest.
What does stand out is the lopsided spread within amenities. The supermarket is five hundred metres away, a restaurant just as close, but the GP more than two kilometres off and the station almost four. That difference explains why an area well served day to day still gets no higher than a 7.5.
The 4.2 for wealth & income is not the story of a poor neighbourhood. High and low incomes both sit around the national middle and property values below it, but it is social assistance — almost three times the median — that sets the figure. And the 5.3 for quiet & nature comes from the greenery: within three hundred metres just over a third of the surface is green, where more than half is usual nationally.
