Safe streets, thinner wallets
None of the four types of registered offence in Strijen Woonkern rises above the national median, and theft even stays at a quarter of it. That is how a 9.1 for safety comes about.
The wealth pillar of 4.9 is more interesting, because it does not come from the incomes. The share of households in the top income group is exactly the national one and that in the bottom one barely differs from it. What presses the score down is the property value, which stays below the Dutch level and weighs heaviest in this pillar, plus a social assistance rate of almost twice the average.
The families pillar of 5.4 hangs on the share of children. School and supermarket both lie within a kilometre, but of those two only the school counts here.

How much crime is there in Strijen Woonkern?

The comparison figure above (14 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Strijen Woonkern lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
