Well-off, and well out of town
Two nines side by side: wealth & income and quiet & nature both come to 9.3 here. Property values are well above the national median, the share of high incomes is one and a half times the Dutch middle, there is no social assistance, and the share of low incomes stays below the national picture. Every component points the same way.
The bill arrives at families and amenities. The primary school is more than a kilometre away, the GP three; with a 4.6 and a 4.2, this area pays for its quiet in travel time. Almost seventy per cent of the immediate surroundings is green.
With just over three hundred residents, the crime figures here rest on small numbers. One reported offence more or less shifts the picture noticeably, so the 7.6 for safety is softer than it looks.
