Plenty of space, less prosperity
The number of reported offences in Dieren-West boven spoorlijn is below the national median, and yet the safety pillar stops at a 6.0. The explanation is the burglary figure: it sits almost four times above the national median, and burglary carries more than a quarter of that pillar. Statistically, anyone leaving the house here leaves more risk behind than they take with them.
The 8.8 for quiet & nature does not come from space alone. The tree canopy covers four times the national share, and the noise level is five decibels below the median — a difference you can hear, unlike most figures on this page.
