Safe, but not spacious
There are only a handful of neighbourhoods in the Netherlands where less is recorded than in Ameide kern. Violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism all four sit far below the national middle here, burglary at a fraction of it — hence a 10.0 for safety.
The quiet & nature pillar lags at 4.8, and noise is not to blame: it is below the median. It lies in the tree canopy, which covers less than half the national share, and in the complete absence of open water. Two of the five components pull the score down.
The wealth & income pillar is mixed. Property value stays below the median and the income distribution barely differs from it, while the social assistance rate sits above the national one. No component stands out, in either direction.
- no. 1,047 of 13,075 neighbourhoods with a grade

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