Safe, but everything is a drive away
Almost eighteen kilometres to the nearest railway station: that is the distance explaining the 5.7 for amenities in Maaswijk-Zuidwest, because the supermarket, GP and school are all within a kilometre.
The 7.9 for wealth & income is notable because property values here are below the national median — usually the component that carries such a score. What lifts it are incomes and the social assistance rate: the top income group is one and a half times as large as nationally, the bottom group smaller, and social assistance is rare. Vacancy is almost non-existent as well.
Three of the four offence types are below the national middle, property offences at little more than a third of it; only vandalism is marginally above. That is how a 9.4 for safety comes about.

How much crime is there in Maaswijk-Zuidwest?

The comparison figure above (14 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 Maaswijk-Zuidwest calculated?

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Maaswijk-Zuidwest lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
