Safe streets, thinner wallets
Four types of offence, and all four sit below the national median: that is what the 9.5 for safety in De Ganzepoel-Schans rests on. No single category pulls the figure up or down, violence and burglary included, and that is rarer than it sounds — most safe neighbourhoods owe their score to one missing problem.
The 4.4 for wealth & income comes from somewhere else. Property values lag behind the national median and the share of residents on social assistance is almost three times above it, while the income distribution itself barely differs from the country as a whole. So this is not a neighbourhood that looks poorer across the board, but one where a narrow group leans heavily on support. What a resident notices day to day is mainly the quiet: measured noise levels here are well below the national figure, and at this building density that is not a given.
