Safe streets, thinner wallets
Sint Jansklooster has the supermarket and the primary school within five hundred metres, but the GP more than three kilometres away — and that single component holds the amenities pillar at 5.5 while the rest of the distances are short. The station barely counts as an option here: it is more than seventeen kilometres off.
The 9.0 for families is genuinely earned by families: four in ten households have children and the share of residents under fifteen is above the national level, with the school around the corner. Safety comes out at 9.3, with all four offence types below the national median. The brake is wealth & income, at 4.2: property values far below the middle and social assistance at double it.

How much crime is there in Sint Jansklooster?

The comparison figure above (13 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Sint Jansklooster lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
