Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 9.9 for families is almost impossible to reach, and in the Ruys de Beerenbrouckbuurt that figure also matches the population. Usually such a score is carried by short distances alone, but here the primary school is round the corner and a good fifth of the residents is younger than fifteen. That is the rare situation in which the name of the pillar covers what it measures.

The quiet is more surprising. The noise level there is nine decibels above the Dutch median and the resident density is exceptionally high, and still that pillar comes out at a 5.4 — because greenery and tree canopy in the surroundings both lie well above the national picture. What the neighbourhood lacks in silence it gains in trees. The wealth figure of 3.9 stands apart from that: the bottom income group covers a good half of the households there and social assistance is a multiple of the middle, while the property value stays close to the median.

Frequently asked questions
