Safe, but everything is a drive away
Almost half of the households in Passewaaij-Noord-Oost have children, well above the national picture, and still the families pillar sticks at 7.2. The explanation lies in distance: the primary school is a kilometre away, and school distance is the largest component of that score.
The GP is more than two kilometres off — after the station the longest of the measured distances, and that station is actually close by. That is where the 5.5 for amenities comes from: not from isolation, but from a spread in which everyday things are further away than the railway.
All four types of reported offence are below the national median, burglary almost at zero, and that produces a 9.3 for safety.
