Everything for children close by, and little room
In Blixembosch-Oost all the components of the wealth pillar pull the same way, and that is rare. The property value lies considerably above the Dutch middle, the share of top incomes is almost double the national one, low incomes occur less often, hardly anything is vacant and the number of social assistance benefits is a fraction of the Dutch level. That is how a 9.4 comes about.
The weakest pillar is quiet, with a 4.4. There is no open water in the neighbourhood, the measured greenery around the addresses stays below the national middle and the noise burden comes out above it; only the tree canopy does better than average.
The 9.8 for families matches the population behind it: more than half of households have children living in them and the primary school is five hundred metres away. On safety only burglary comes out just above the Dutch middle; the other three types stay well below it.
