Safe streets, thinner wallets

A station eight hundred metres away is rare for a neighbourhood of fewer than seven hundred residents, and together with shop, GP and school within a kilometre it carries the 7.7 for amenities in Burgemeester van Royenstraat en omgeving.

The wealth & income pillar stands very differently. The social assistance rate is nearly six times the national one, under a tenth of households are in the top income group and almost half in the bottom, with property value far below the median. Only vacancy is minimal, and that is too little to lift the 3.2. Safety, by contrast, is a strong side at 9.1: burglary occurs at half the national rate, violence at less than half, and property crime and vandalism sit below the median too. All four categories point the same way.
