Safe, but not spacious
The railway station is more than fifteen kilometres away, and in Oud-Beijerland Zeeheldenwijk that is the only thing that is far off. Supermarket, GP, restaurant and primary school are all within a kilometre, which explains the 8.5 for amenities despite that distance to the railway.
The 9.7 for safety comes from four offence types that all stay below the national median, with burglary at close to zero. Wealth & income stops at 5.4 and that figure is average in character: the property value is below the Dutch middle, the share of lower incomes sits exactly on it and higher incomes occur slightly more often than nationally. Only the social assistance rate is one and a half times above the middle. Quiet & nature lags at 4.0, mainly through a lack of greenery nearby.
