Well-off, and well out of town
Almost half the households in Overgooi have children, and still there is a 4.1 for families. The explanation lies in the kilometres: the nearest primary school is more than five kilometres away, and school distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar.
The same distances turn amenities into a 2.8. The supermarket and the GP are each kilometres away and the railway station further still; doing the shopping here is not a walk.
Property value is almost three times the national median and there is no social assistance, which puts the 9.8 for wealth & income among the highest in the country. Space is the product here: low density, plenty of greenery and little noise produce an 8.8 for quiet & nature.
