CBS does not publish this for small or non-residential areas.
Prinsenbosch is not a regular neighbourhood but a stretch of forest between Gilze and the airbase, with the former barracks complex as virtually its only housing. The statistics reflect that: no owner-occupied homes, 93 percent single households and over three kilometres to a supermarket or school. The 2.5 overall says more about the scoring model than about the woods.
