Safe streets, thinner wallets
Nearly a third of residents are 65 or older, and that explains the 6.7 for families in Koudekerk aan den Rijn-Zuid better than distance does: the primary school is five hundred metres away. The share of households with children stays below the national picture, and that counts within the pillar alongside school distance.
Wealth & income lags behind at a 5.3, and it is a sum of small minuses. The property value is below the national median, the lowest income group is slightly broader than average and there are more social assistance payments than nationally. Only the vacancy rate is low.
What helps the quiet & nature pillar here is water: more than a tenth of the neighbourhood's surface consists of it, against half a per cent nationally. Density and greenery pull the other way, and so quiet & nature lands on a 6.4 — the middle of the five scores.
