Safe, but not spacious
A ten overall, and a ten for safety: Buitenuitbreiding-Oost ranks among the hundred highest-scoring neighbourhoods in the country. Reported offences amount to less than forty per cent of the national median, and all four types fall below it — vandalism and burglary are almost absent here.
The quiet & nature pillar is the score that deviates, at 5.6, and the reason is density: almost ten thousand residents per square kilometre. Water offsets part of that, since a third of the surface area is wet, far above the national norm. Greenery and tree canopy stay below the national median.
The wealth & income pillar remains at 6.2 because property values sit below the national median, while social assistance, incomes and vacancy all come out more favourably here than nationally. Property value simply weighs heaviest in that score.
