Scores per pillar
Wijk aan Zee is seaside resort and steelworks village at once: the beach on one side, Tata Steel on the other. That contrast shows in the numbers — nature 6.5 and socio-economic 7.3, but a €332k average value that is strikingly low for a coastal village. Over a quarter of residents are 65-plus. No shortage of cafés: the village square is famous for them. Overall: 5.6.
