Yerseke - Steehof

Safe, but not spacious
In Yerseke - Steehof one deviation sits inside an otherwise favourable safety picture. Violence is rare, at a fraction of the national median, and theft and vandalism are below it too. Residential burglary, on the other hand, is recorded roughly three times as often as nationally. After violence that is the heaviest component of the pillar, and it is why the score is 8.6 and no higher.
The noise level is far below the national median, and yet quiet & nature gets no further than 5.0. The tree canopy over the built-up area is half what is usual nationally, greenery nearby lags slightly and open water is absent — three components against one.
The families score of 8.2 rests on two things at once: the primary school six hundred metres away and a share of households with children well above the national picture.
