Safe streets, thinner wallets
Supermarket four hundred metres away, station a good kilometre: Winsum Noord - West reaches 8.2 for amenities. The wealth & income pillar lags far behind at 3.4, and those two scores describe the same streets.
Every component of that pillar points downwards. Property value is well below the national median, the share of high incomes smaller than nationally, the share of low incomes larger, and the social assistance rate approaches three times the median. Only vacancy is not bad.
The safety score shows a different picture: burglary hardly occurs here and property crime stays well under half the national median. Violence is exactly at that median — so a neighbourhood with low incomes need not be one with many reported offences.
