Safe streets, thinner wallets
Four of the five pillars in Doorn-Zuidoost sit between 6.9 and 9.3; wealth & income hangs below them at 4.8. That figure does not come from the housing — property values are just under the national middle — but from the income side: the social assistance rate here is four times the national median.
Quiet & nature is the counterweight. Despite almost five thousand residents per square kilometre, the share of greenery in the immediate surroundings is eighty-four per cent, there is more tree canopy than is usual nationally and noise is below the median. Anyone here wanting a train is further from home: the station is nearly six kilometres away, and that pushes the amenities pillar down hardest.

How much crime is there in Doorn-Zuidoost?

The comparison figure above (16 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.
How is the grade for Doorn-Zuidoost calculated?
