IJmuiden-Noord

IJmuiden-Noord in Velsen carries the names of physicists and resistance heroes, seven neighbourhoods and over 9,400 residents together. Amenities are all but complete at 9.6, and safety holds up well at 6.7. Beneath that it lags: social life 4.9, housing 3.6, nature 3.3. Those last two are the weak spots, striking so close to the coast. With an overall of 5.5, this harbour district reads as fully served, but with a modest living climate.
