Grote Waal - Buurt 13 05
995 residents · postal code 1622 · Part of Grote Waal, Hoorn
Safe, but not spacious
With a 9.9 for safety, this neighbourhood in Grote Waal is among the three hundred highest in the Netherlands, and that figure is as broad as it gets: violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are all four far below the national middle. The crime total comes out at just over half the median.
Almost every home is owner-occupied, and yet the wealth & income pillar sticks at 7.0. The explanation lies in property value, which is below the national median and weighs the heaviest in that pillar; ownership itself counts for only a fraction. Incomes are around the middle.
Quiet & nature is the weak point at 3.8. Greenery stays below the median, traffic noise is above it, and with more than six thousand residents per square kilometre this is a compact neighbourhood — precisely the opposite of the image a safety score of almost ten evokes.
