Safe streets, thinner wallets
The nearest railway station is a good thirteen kilometres away, and that is the component pulling the amenities pillar of Hippolytushoef Oost down to 6.1. Supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within a kilometre; living here you miss no daily convenience, only the train.
One thing stands out in the crime figures. The total is well below the national middle and burglary is virtually absent, but violence comes out above the median. That keeps the safety pillar at 8.7 rather than higher, and it means the little that happens here more often involves people than possessions.
Families and amenities sit on exactly the same figure, and that is no coincidence: both are largely determined by distance. The difference is that the families pillar looks only at school and childcare, and those are close by here — which makes the share of children, below the national middle, the brake.
