Safe, but everything is a drive away
More than half the households in Verspreide huizen Oldebroek have children and almost a quarter of residents are under fifteen. Yet the families pillar gets no further than a 6.3, and that is down to distance: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and distance to school weighs heaviest in that pillar. Anyone living here takes their child by bike or by car.
The rest of the picture is emphatically rural. All four types of registered offence stay below the national median, which produces a 9.9 for safety, and the noise level is far below the Dutch middle. Against that stands a 4.5 for amenities: shop and GP are two kilometres away. Unusually for open countryside, more than half the homes were built after 2000.
