1,855 residents · postal code 4147 · Part of Asperen, West Betuwe
Safe streets, thinner wallets
Westelijke uitbreiding Asperen reaches 8.9 overall, and that comes from the sum, not from one outlier: safety, amenities and families all sit well above the national median. Supermarket, GP and primary school are half a kilometre away, the station just under three.
The wealth & income pillar does not join in. At 4.6 it belongs to the weaker half of the country, and the components all point the same way: property value is below the median, the share of high incomes smaller than nationally, the share of low incomes larger, and the social assistance rate approaches three times the national median. Only vacancy comes out favourably.
With crime, the difference is in the type. Burglary and property offences are clearly below the national median, violence and vandalism just above it. So the overall picture is calm, but not because nothing happens anywhere: the reports that do exist are more often about damage than about stolen goods.
