Safe, but everything is a drive away
Noise levels in Krijtenberg en Noorder Koeslag are nearly eight decibels below the national median, and together with plenty of green and little building that produces a 7.5 for quiet & nature. The flip side shows in amenities: the supermarket and the GP are both more than one and a half kilometres away, which keeps that figure at 5.2.
The 7.3 for families does not come from school distance here — at more than a kilometre that acts as a brake — but from who lives here: almost half of households have children. Among offences one item stands out against an otherwise very low total: burglary runs at more than double the national median, while violence hardly occurs here.
