Everything for children close by, and nowhere weak

A 9.7 overall and no pillar below 6.6: Oude Dorp, Indische buurt en omgeving has no weak spot, but it does have one figure out of step. Vacancy is one and a half times the national level, while property value is well above it and so is the share of top incomes. That pushes the wealth & income pillar down to 7.3, lower than the rest of the picture would suggest.

Among the offences, violence, burglary and theft stay below the national median — burglary at practically nil. Only vandalism is slightly above, and that is the lightest item in the safety pillar.

The families pillar stands at 9.2 with the primary school five hundred metres away. The supermarket and the GP, by contrast, are both more than a kilometre off, and that keeps the amenities score modest.
