Well-off, and comfortable across the board
Vijfhuizen Stellinghof was built almost entirely after 2000, and that shows in nearly every figure. Property values are well above the national median, a third of households fall in the highest income group and social assistance barely occurs; together that makes a 9.1 for wealth & income.
The quiet & nature pillar is the surprise here. In a neighbourhood with almost four thousand residents per square kilometre you would expect noise, but sound levels are below the national middle and the green share slightly above it. That produces a 7.2, high for a neighbourhood of this density.
The families score trails the rest at 6.8, even though almost half of households have children. The primary school, just over a kilometre away, largely explains that: distance is the heaviest component of the pillar, and here it outweighs the number of children living in it.

How much crime is there in Vijfhuizen Stellinghof?
