Safe, but not spacious
For a neighbourhood that scores high on almost everything, Nieuw-Vennep Getsewoud Noord is strikingly poorly served. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are all three more than a kilometre away, and that pushes the amenities pillar down to a 5.3. In a neighbourhood where six in ten households have children, the daily shop is therefore a bike ride.
Against that stands a 9.8 for safety, carried by all four crime types at once: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism lie one by one below the Dutch middle, theft far below.
The 3.4 for quiet comes almost entirely from the vegetation. The tree canopy around the addresses reaches only a fraction of the national middle and the greenery around it likewise stays below. Population density is high here for a neighbourhood outside the city, and the noise burden comes out above the Dutch level.
