Everything for children close by, and little room
A 9.1 as the overall score, and yet wealth in Oud-Beijerland Zoomwijck stays at 5.6. The income side explains that only in part: high incomes occur more often than nationally, low incomes less often, vacancy stays below the Dutch level and only the share on social assistance lies above it. What pushes the score down is the property value, the heaviest component of that pillar.
The 8.8 for safety rests on what is *not* recorded: theft and burglary are rare here. Violence lies slightly above the national figure, and with nearly five thousand residents such a difference means a handful of cases — it is part of the picture, but no mechanism can be built on it.
The station is sixteen kilometres away. That amenities still come out at a 7.5 is because supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within a kilometre.
