Buitengebied Doornspijk Oost
1,130 residents · postal code 8085 · Part of Doornspijk, Elburg
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
Almost a quarter of the surroundings of Buitengebied Doornspijk Oost is tree canopy, against less than a tenth nationally, and the noise level stays more than four decibels below the Dutch middle. At one hundred and twelve residents per square kilometre that produces a 9.5 for quiet & nature.
The 3.4 for families stands directly opposite and is just as solid. The primary school is more than two kilometres away, and that distance alone carries almost a third of the score. More than a third of households here have children, but that weighs less.
Wealth & income shows one point that contradicts the rest: the property value runs more than forty per cent above the national median and the social assistance rate is zero, yet vacancy comes out at double the national figure. For rural land at these prices, that is unusual.

That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Buitengebied Doornspijk Oost lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
