Safe streets, thinner wallets
The contrast in Winterswijk-Zuidoost is a 9.4 for safety alongside a 3.8 for wealth & income. The first figure is solid: all four kinds of reported offence are below the national median, burglary almost at zero.
The wealth figure is just as solid in the other direction. Property values are well below the national median, high incomes are scarce, low incomes heavily represented and the social assistance rate several times the national one. Only vacancy is favourable, and it carries little weight.
In practice that adds up to cheap housing with few incidents, with supermarket, school and station all within cycling distance. It comes with a population skewed upwards: more than a quarter is 65 or over, against a small share of children.
