Safe streets, thinner wallets
A 9.6 for safety and a 3.7 for wealth & income: in Marknesse-woonkern the strongest and weakest pillars lie far apart. The wealth figure has no exception — property value is well below the national median, the top income group is thinner than nationally, the bottom one wider, and the share on social assistance more than double. Only vacancy holds up.
The safety figure rests on the reverse picture: violence, burglary and vandalism all stay below the national median, burglary at a tenth of it. As for the 6.2 for amenities, daily necessities are close by while the railway station is a good twenty kilometres off — a village profile in which the car is not optional.
