Verspreide huizen Zittard
1,965 residents · postal code 5505 · Part of Oerle, Veldhoven
Safe, but everything is a drive away
A 9.8 for safety is exceptional, and Verspreide huizen Zittard earns it on every component: violence, burglary, vandalism and property crime are all four below the national median, burglary at a fraction of it. With almost two thousand residents that is no fluke.
The figure set against it is a 4.2 for amenities, and that is precisely the same trait seen from the other side. Supermarket and primary school are each more than two kilometres away, the station nine. For the families pillar it is above all that school distance that weighs, and it explains why the 7.1 there does not come out higher while four in ten households have children. More than eight in ten homes were built after 2000, and property value is well above the national middle.
