Safe streets, thinner wallets
The overall score of 4.8 for Stokebrand, Bagijnenland en Bronsbergen says less than the distance between the pillars beneath it. Safety stands at 7.7, quiet & nature at 7.4, and wealth & income gets no further than 3.2. That last figure pulls the average down, and it is also the one that says most about daily life here: property values are well below the national median, the share of low-income households above it, and the rate of social assistance is a multiple of the national median. Only vacancy comes out favourably.
The quiet does not come from silence. Traffic noise is above the national median; what carries that pillar is water, a fifth of the surface area, with greenery around it. Safety is not uniformly strong either. Violence and theft are clearly below the national median, but burglaries are above it, and that is the only offence type here that stands out.
