Well-off, but not carefree
Property values in Wilhelminapark en omgeving are more than two and a half times the national median, and that is the component that lifts the wealth & income pillar to a 9.7 — the other components point the same way, but by much smaller margins.
The 5.9 for safety looks out of place until you see where it comes from. More than sixty per cent of all reports are property offences; violence is below the national middle and vandalism sits exactly on it. This is the profile of an urban neighbourhood where things go missing, not of a place where evenings can turn bad.
Amenities stand at 9.1, with the GP and a restaurant four hundred metres away, while the quiet pillar sticks at 6.4 — high density and noise above the national middle, despite a tree canopy well above it.
