Everything close by, little to spend
For Driemanspolder no safety figure has been calculated. That means the overall score of 6.4 rests on four pillars instead of five, and that precisely the pillar is missing which often says the most about a neighbourhood. So anyone who lays this neighbourhood alongside another is not comparing the same thing.
With quiet & nature something happens that you see back in the individual measurements: the greenery in the surroundings and the canopy both lie above the national middle, and still the score stays on a 5.5. The noise level here is several decibels above the median, and noise weighs just as heavily in that pillar as greenery.
The 4.0 for wealth & income does not come from incomes. The bottom income group is even narrower here than nationally and the top one lies just below it. It is the property value, far below the median, and a social assistance figure of more than three times the national one that make the figure.
