Safe, but not spacious

The income distribution of Tuitjenhorn-Centrum en Kerkbuurt is almost exactly that of the Netherlands: the share of high and the share of low incomes both sit precisely on the national median. Even so, wealth & income gets no further than 5.6, and that comes from property value — the heaviest component of that pillar — which stays below the Dutch middle.

Safety stands better. Violence, burglary and vandalism are all below the median, and the number of recorded offences is modest overall; that brings the pillar to 8.4.

The railway station is more than eight kilometres away. That is the defining constraint here: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all within a kilometre, but the railway is not reachable on foot.
