Safe streets, thinner wallets
The noise level in Bedum Noord - Oost is almost four decibels below the national median, and in this data that is an exception: most neighbourhoods sit above it. Together with greenery around the national level and some open water that yields a 6.4 for quiet & nature; the tree canopy is the only component working against it.
More than four in ten homes were built after the year 2000, which is high for a village extension. That partly explains the high share of households with children.
The wealth & income pillar hangs at 5.6, and incomes are not the cause: the top income group is broader than nationally, the share in the lowest below it, and social assistance stays well under the median. It is property value, at almost four tenths the heaviest component, that holds the score down.
