Safe, and nowhere really weak
Nijkerkerveen-Noord comes out above the national middle on all five pillars and on the very top rung for safety: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism all four sit at a fraction of the Dutch median. That is a 10.0, and it is why the overall score has no weak link.
The quiet & nature pillar shows how idiosyncratic that measurement is. More than four fifths of the surroundings count as green and it is seven decibels quieter than nationally, but the tree canopy stays below the middle. Space is abundant here; shade is not.
The wealth & income pillar is the most modest figure at 6.9. The property value is well above the Dutch middle, but the income spread barely deviates from it — the houses here are more expensive than the households are wealthy.
