Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

In 's-Heerenberg, oostelijke uitbreiding, vandalism is the only category of offence above the national median — nearly double it. Violence, burglary and property crime all stay under, and on balance safety scores 7.1.

The 4.0 for quiet & nature is less obvious than the spacious layout suggests. Not many people live here per square kilometre, yet greenery and tree canopy in the surroundings are below the national median, surface water is absent and the noise level is slightly above. Space, in this model, is not the same thing as greenery.

Property values are far below the national median and social assistance well above it, which together carry the 3.5 for wealth & income. The primary school is round the corner; the supermarket and the GP a little further.
