Safe, but everything is a drive away
All four types of offence in De Erven are below the national median, and for burglary and theft it is a fraction of it. That is the direct explanation for the 9.6 for safety, and with nearly five thousand residents it is a figure resting on more than a handful of cases.
The wealth pillar is less clear-cut than that 6.9 suggests. Social assistance, vacancy and income distribution all point favourably, but the property value stays below the national median — and at nearly forty per cent that is the heaviest component of the pillar. What is cheap here is the land, not the living.
The price is in the distances. The GP is more than two kilometres away and the railway station twenty-five. Emmeloord has everything a town of its own size has, but the train is not part of it.
