How the neighbourhood rates living here

Share of adults in the neighbourhood who are (very) satisfied, RIVM Health Monitor 2024. The bar lines the neighbourhood up against all 11,734 neighbourhoods with a figure in the monitor: half of them sit between 87 and 93 percent, so a few points move a neighbourhood from the middle to the tail. "Not (very) satisfied" is neutral and dissatisfied together, because the monitor does not publish those two separately. A neighbourhood average, so it says nothing about this particular home.

Shares in the Planetenwijk neighbourhood, source CBS. Each share is rounded on its own, so the total can land just off 100.

Liveability class: good

Leefbaarometer 3.0 (Dutch Ministry of the Interior / RIGO), 2024 edition. The scale is by definition a deviation from the national average: 0 IS the Netherlands, and that is the tick on the bar. The bar itself is the place among all neighbourhoods, because they do not sit symmetrically around zero: the same small minus is mid-pack on one sub-scale and the tail on another. A model score for the whole neighbourhood, not a measurement at this address. Resident mix stays grey: a different population is not better or worse, only different.
