Safe streets, thinner wallets
Seventy per cent of the surroundings of Nibbixwoud Centrum counts as green, far above the national level, and it is almost three decibels quieter than in the average Dutch neighbourhood. Even so the quiet & nature pillar gets no further than 5.7, and that is down to the tree canopy: it covers less than half of what is usual nationally. Open land and trees are two different things in this measurement.
The safety pillar is strikingly clean. Burglary, theft and vandalism sit well below the median and violence exactly on it, producing an 8.8.
The wealth & income pillar stalls at 5.3 and that cannot be put down to one thing. The property value is slightly below the middle, the share of households with a high income well below it and the share with a low income above. Everything just the wrong way, nothing dramatic.

How much crime is there in Nibbixwoud Centrum?

The comparison figure above (13 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Nibbixwoud Centrum calculated?
