Nieuw-Loosdrechtsedijk
6,650 residents · postal code 1231 · Part of Nieuw-Loosdrecht, Wijdemeren
Safe, and nowhere really weak
Almost half the surface of Nieuw-Loosdrechtsedijk is water. That lifts the 8.8 for quiet & nature, together with a noise level far below the national one. The greenery does not: that stays below the median, because the green map counts arable land and pasture just as heavily as woodland.
With a 9.8 this neighbourhood belongs to the three hundred and fifty highest scoring in the country, and that is not down to one outlier but to the fact that no single pillar sinks away. The lowest, amenities, stays on a 6.8; the station is a good four kilometres away, the daily things are close by.
One figure points against the safety score. Burglary is registered here more often than in the average Dutch neighbourhood, while the three other counted types stay well below it. The numbers are small, but it is the only offence type pointing the other way.
