Everything close by, little space
Zuidplas 80 scores around or above the national level on four pillars and drops on the fifth to a 3.3. That outlier does not come from one measurement but from all the components at once: the population density is high, greenery and trees around the neighbourhood stay below the Dutch median, the noise level is slightly above it, and there is no surface water.
The safety figure deserves a note in the other direction. Far fewer offences are registered here than is usual nationally, but burglary is the exception: that figure is at more than four times the national median. Without that category the 7.5 would come out higher.
The property value in Zuidplas 80 is virtually exactly at the Dutch level. That is a rare neutral fact in the wealth pillar, in which that value in particular weighs heaviest; the score of 6.7 here therefore comes from the edges, not from the middle.

How much crime is there in Zuidplas 80?

The comparison figure above (15 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.
