Norden en Hazenbos
2,140 residents · postal code 7771 · Part of Hardenberg, Hardenberg
Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
With fewer than a thousand residents per square kilometre, Norden en Hazenbos is spaciously laid out, and the quiet & nature pillar shows what that yields: the noise level is four decibels below the national median, there is more open water than usual and the tree canopy covers well over the national share. An 8.5 is the result.
The wealth & income pillar points the other way. Fewer than a tenth of households are in the top income group, against almost a fifth nationally, property value stays a third below the median and the social assistance rate is almost triple.
On safety distinctly fewer offences are recorded here than nationally, but burglary is the exception: it occurs three and a half times as often as in the average Dutch neighbourhood, and that component weighs heavily enough to keep the pillar below seven.
