Everything close by, little to spend
In Parkweg en omgeving Almelo has a neighbourhood that comes out above the middle on four of the five pillars and far below it on one. Amenities, safety and families all stand well above eight; wealth & income stalls at 4.9.
That wealth score has one component pointing the other way: the share of high incomes here is above the national median. Every other component pushes down — property value below the Dutch middle, more social assistance and more vacancy than usual, and a wider bottom income group. So both the top and the bottom group are wider than nationally; it is the middle group that is thin here.
Quiet & nature holds a contradiction: the share of greenery in the immediate surroundings is far below the median, while the tree canopy is above it. Many trees on little unbuilt ground.
