Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
An overall score of 9.8 and yet a 5.7 for wealth & income — in Putten-Zuid-Oost those two do not contradict each other, they tell the same thing. The property value there is above the national median, but the incomes behind it are not: at the top end of the income distribution the neighbourhood is more thinly occupied than the Netherlands on average, at the bottom end more amply, and social assistance is above the usual. Expensive houses, ordinary wallets.
The 9.2 for safety meanwhile comes from almost all sides. Violence hardly occurs there — a fraction of the national level — and vandalism and theft too stay far below it. Only burglary is above the median, and on a good six thousand residents that is a handful of registrations. With almost thirty per cent tree canopy in the surroundings and little noise the 7.5 for quiet & nature is no surprise.
