Bato's Wijk
1,985 residents · postal code 6862 · Part of Oosterbeek Zuidoost, Renkum
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
With a 9.6, Bato's Wijk belongs among the country's strongest neighbourhoods without excelling anywhere: four of the five pillars sit between 8.0 and 8.4. The exception is families, with a 6.0. The primary school is around the corner, so that figure comes from the population — a third are 65 or older and the share of children is below the national level.
The 8.1 for wealth & income is largely a story about houses: property value is well above the national median and almost three in ten households are in the highest income group, with little social assistance. One component points the other way, and that is vacancy: here it is above the Dutch middle. Quiet & nature comes to an 8.4 with a noise level below the median and plenty of trees, and that for a neighbourhood with a station one and a half kilometres away.

How much crime is there in Bato's Wijk?
