Safe streets, thinner wallets
On the wealth side of Elly Takmastraat e.o. the figures contradict each other. High incomes sit exactly on the national middle, low incomes slightly below it and vacancy is close to zero — but the social assistance rate lies at more than three times the national median and property value stays just under it. A 5.7 is the sober outcome: this is neither a poor nor a prosperous neighbourhood, but one where both occur.
Quiet & nature does better than the density suggests. The greenery within three hundred metres lies well above the national middle and the tree canopy at nearly double it — this is a place with mature trees, not bare new-build.
Then there is the families score of 8.7, which does not quite live up to its name. The primary school is six hundred metres away and that is almost a third of the pillar; at the same time a quarter of residents are over 65 and the share of children sits around the national average. The school is close; the children are not there in numbers.
