Everything for children close by, and little room
Of the four crime types in the safety figure, exactly one lies above the Dutch middle in Hoofddorp Toolenburg Oost: burglary, and it is straight away at double. Violence, theft and vandalism all stay below it, theft even well below. Because burglary counts second most heavily after violence, this neighbourhood sticks at a 7.3 for safety instead of coming out higher.
The 4.0 for quiet is the weak spot, and it does not come from noise — that is only just above the Dutch level. It sits in the density and in the vegetation: both the greenery and the tree canopy around the addresses stay below the national middle, in a neighbourhood where many people live on few square kilometres.
The 8.1 for families is what it appears to be here. Four in ten households have children living in them and the primary school is within walking distance.
