Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The total number of reported offences in Hofstede, Plantage, Wijngaard is below the national median, and yet the safety score is 4.4. The explanation lies in which types stand out: burglary occurs three times as often as nationally and violence and vandalism are also above the middle, while only property crime stays below. Those first two count heaviest in this pillar.

The 8.3 for quiet & nature comes from an unexpected direction for a neighbourhood at this population density: the tree canopy covers three times the national share and there is more greenery within walking distance than average.

In daily practice there is one clear gap: the GP is more than two kilometres away, while the supermarket and primary school are around the corner.
