Yerseke - West
2,115 residents · postal code 4401 · Part of Yerseke, Reimerswaal
Safe streets, thinner wallets
On all four measured crime types Yerseke - West stays below the national median, with property crime at a little over a third of it. That is what the 9.5 for safety rests on, and total reported offences are at less than half the national median.
Wealth & income goes the other way at 4.0, and that does not come from social assistance — which is close to the national median — but from property value and from a large share of households in the bottom income group. Vacancy is exactly national. This is a neighbourhood with modest incomes and cheap housing, not one in decline.
The 5.7 for quiet & nature shows how differently the components can fall. It is quiet and greenery is just above the national median, but the tree canopy stays below it and there is no open water. Silence alone does not lift a score like that.
