Safe streets, thinner wallets
The nearest railway station to Geertruidenberg-Kom is seventeen kilometres away. That is by far the biggest distance this neighbourhood has and the main reason amenities stall at 6.8, while restaurant, GP and supermarket are all roughly within a kilometre.
The wealth & income pillar comes out at 4.4, and that is not a matter of incomes: the top group is slightly larger than nationally and the bottom one sits exactly on the national median. It lies in property value, which is clearly below the national level, and in vacancy, which comes out at double the national figure.
Among the offences, burglary stands out by its absence: it is at a fraction of the national median, while violence sits exactly on the median. The quiet & nature pillar reaches 6.3, and the water helps there: a sixth of the surface consists of it, far above what is usual nationally.
