Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The total crime rate in Hollandscheveld kern sits well below the national median, and yet safety gets no further than a 5.5. The breakdown shows why: burglary occurs more than three times as often as nationally and violence is above it too, while property offences are rare. What happens here is about houses, not bicycles.
The 8.8 for families comes from two sides at once: school, supermarket and GP all stand five hundred metres away, and almost four in ten households have children. The wealth pillar lags far behind at 3.7 — property values sit well below the national median, nearly half of households are on a low income and social assistance runs twice the national rate.
