Safe, but not spacious
The supermarket is seven hundred metres away, the GP five hundred, and yet Zuid-Beijerland Woonkern gets no further than a 5.4 for amenities. The explanation lies in the distance to the railway station: more than twenty kilometres. That component weighs heavily enough to pull down an otherwise well-equipped village centre.
Set against it is a 9.8 for safety, placing this neighbourhood among the three hundred quietest in the country. Violence, burglary, property offences and criminal damage are all four below the national median.
Quiet & nature stalls at a 4.7, and that is not because of noise — the level is in fact below the national median. It lies in the tree canopy, which covers less than half the area usual nationally, and in the absence of surface water. Open land counts as green in that measurement, and green there is in abundance.
