neighbourhood in Dordrecht
Palissander en omgeving
2,240 residents · postal code 3315 · Part of Stadspolders, Dordrecht
Everything for children close by, and little room
A 9.9 for families is close to the maximum, and Palissander en omgeving earns it on both components at once: the primary school is three hundred metres away and almost half of households have children. The station too is within a kilometre, which is rare in a residential district on a city's edge.
That makes the 3.2 for quiet & nature all the sharper. Seven thousand residents per square kilometre, no water, greenery and tree canopy both below the national middle — this is densely built ground where the green starts outside the neighbourhood.
On wealth & income, a 6.7, property values sit just below the median while the share of high incomes lies well above it and social assistance barely differs. That is a comfortable area with modest house prices, and the combination is less ordinary than it sounds. All four categories of offence lie below the national middle.
