Good for children, with a safety question
The crime figure for Hoofddorp Bornholm Oost is below the national median, and yet safety gets no further than 5.6. The explanation lies in the composition: vandalism and violence are both above the middle, while property crime stays well below. A favourable total says little as long as the heaviest-weighted categories point the wrong way.
The wealth & income pillar is favourable almost across the board — higher property values, a broader top income group, a narrower bottom one, little vacancy. Only social assistance is above the national level, which brings the score to 7.1.
More than a quarter of residents are 65 or older while nearly four in ten households have children: two groups side by side, in a neighbourhood where the primary school is seven hundred metres away.
