De Blauwe Bergen en de Bongerd
1,750 residents · postal code 6708 · Part of Wageningen Universiteit, Wageningen
Safe streets, thinner wallets
In De Blauwe Bergen en de Bongerd virtually nobody is under fifteen and virtually nobody over sixty-five; ninety-nine per cent of households consist of one person. That explains a 3.0 for wealth & income that looks more alarming than it is. The lowest income group covers almost the whole neighbourhood, while there is not a single social assistance claim against it: low incomes without benefit dependency.
The 9.5 for safety, though, is real. Violence, burglary and vandalism stay below the national median, only property crime edges just above it, and the total is far below the Dutch middle. For families the result is a 4.4 despite a primary school seven hundred metres away; without households with children that pillar cannot go higher.
