Everything close by, little to spend
Property values in Franeker It Stiselplak stand at less than half the national median, and that is the component setting the 3.2 for wealth & income. The rest points the same way: fewer households than nationally in the top income group, almost half in the bottom, and social assistance at more than twice the national rate. Only vacancy stays well below the middle.
Safety is more nuanced than the 6.1 suggests. Violence occurs here nearly twice as often as nationally and vandalism clearly more often too, while property crime and burglary stay well below the median. The total therefore lands just above the national middle. Practically, the station is this neighbourhood's strongest card: it lies under two kilometres away, where most places in this area have ten or more to cover.

How much crime is there in Franeker It Stiselplak?

The comparison figure above (26 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.

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