Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
The social assistance rate in Queekhoven e.o. runs at more than four times the national median, while the income distribution barely deviates from the national picture and vacancy is low. So the 4.9 for wealth & income comes mainly from that one component and from a property value below the median — this is not a neighbourhood falling short across the board.
The 9.1 for families stands against that and comes from the school four hundred metres away, because only three in ten households have children and a quarter of residents are sixty-five or older.
On safety, violence and theft sit below the national middle and burglary and criminal damage slightly above; the total stays under it. That 6.9 belongs to a neighbourhood with no single dominant problem.
The 6.7 for quiet & nature is notable at over seven thousand residents on every square kilometre: the share of green space lands on the national median, the tree canopy well above it and noise just below.
