Safe, but few children
The nearest station is more than twenty kilometres from Numansdorp Woonkern, and that single fact almost single-handedly determines the 5.8 for amenities. Supermarket, GP, school and restaurant all stand within a kilometre, after all; the daily shopping is no problem here, the train is.
The 5.4 for families is the lowest score, and that is not down to distance — the primary school is round the corner. It is in the age profile: a quarter of the residents are 65 or older, while relatively few children live here.
Safety is the strongest side, with a 9.4. None of the four counted crime types comes out above the national middle and violence stays far below it.
