Groot-Ammers-Dorp

Safe streets, thinner wallets
Groot-Ammers-Dorp scores 8.4 for safety and the figure is earned: violence, theft and vandalism all sit well below the national median. Only burglary is slightly above; in a village of this size that comes down to a handful of reported offences.
The contrast is in access. Supermarket, GP and school are all within a kilometre, but the nearest station is more than fourteen kilometres away. For daily shopping that changes nothing; for commuting it changes everything.
The 5.2 for wealth & income cannot be read in one direction. Property value stays below the median and the social assistance share is above the Dutch middle, while higher incomes are somewhat better represented here than nationally. A quarter of the homes were built after 2000, which is a lot for a village core.
