Safe streets, thinner wallets
Seven tenths of the surroundings within three hundred metres is green and the noise level sits four decibels below the national median. That is how Ten Boer Dorp arrives at a 7.8 for quiet & nature, and at a safety score of 8.6 resting mainly on property offences running at a third of the national level.
The wealth & income pillar stays at a 3.8 and that picture is mixed. Property values are well below the national median and the top income group is thin here, but the share of low incomes is exactly the national average. So this is not a neighbourhood with much poverty, but one where the upper end is missing.
The station is more than eight kilometres away. Anyone living here without a car depends on the bus for work or study outside the municipality.

How much crime is there in Ten Boer Dorp?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Ten Boer Dorp lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
