Everything close by, little to spend
Vogelbuurt-Zuid earns an 8.7 for safety with exactly one exception. Violence, burglary and theft all three sit below the national median; only vandalism comes out slightly above it, and that is the component that counts for least. For residents that mainly means few reports involving personal risk.
The wealth & income pillar points entirely the other way. Property value is well below the national median, high incomes are scarce, low incomes well represented, the social assistance rate a multiple of the national figure and vacancy too runs higher than average. No component pulls the score upwards.
The 3.2 for quiet and nature belongs to the density: almost ten thousand residents per square kilometre, little greenery within three hundred metres and no open water. Nearly a third of residents are over sixty-five, and for them everything they need is within five hundred metres.
