How we calculate ↗

Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Westervoort-Lange Maat en Hoogeind shows how far property values can drag a pillar down. Here they are well below the national median, and together with a social assistance rate more than four times the national middle and many households in the lowest income group, wealth & income comes out at a 3.8. Only vacancy is negligible.

In the crime picture burglary is the only outlier upwards; violence, theft and vandalism are all three below the national median, and the total well below it. A 6.6 for safety is therefore harsh rather than generous.

The 8.2 for families comes from the primary school around the corner combined with an ample share of households with children. What lags is quiet & nature, at a 4.4: noise is not the problem, but many people live on little land and tree canopy stays below the national middle.

The comparison figure above (19 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.
