Everything close by, little space
Of the nearly thirteen thousand neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, Europakwartier Oost ranks among the lowest for quiet & nature. There is practically no tree canopy and no open water, and the green cover within three hundred metres stays far below the median while the sound level is well above it. A 2.5 comes not from one setback but from four at once.
At the same time this is a neighbourhood of children: almost a third of residents are under fifteen and hardly anyone is 65 or over. With a primary school eight hundred metres away that produces a 9.5 for families.
The wealth & income pillar stays at 5.6 while property value, incomes and vacancy are all around or better than the national picture. The exception is the social assistance rate, which comes out almost four times as high as nationally — one component contradicting the other four.
