Nuenen-Oost

Safe, but everything is a drive away
On all four types of offence Nuenen-Oost stays below the national median: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism. Such a flat result is unusual and produces a 9.5 for safety.
The 7.8 for wealth & income has a different origin than you might think, because social assistance use here is two and a half times above the middle. What carries the pillar is property value, a good hundred thousand euros above the Dutch middle, alongside a larger than usual share of households at the top end of the income distribution.
What holds the whole back is the train: the nearest station is a good five kilometres away, while GP and school are close at hand. That is why amenities gets no further than a 5.7.
