neighbourhood in Groningen
Lageland GN
80 residents · postal code 9622 · Part of Meerstad e.o., Groningen
Room to spare, amenities further off
With thirteen residents per square kilometre, Lageland is so far from everything that the amenities pillar hangs at a 2.8: the supermarket and the GP are more than four kilometres away, the station more than eight.
That isolation is also the reason for the 9.2 for quiet & nature. The noise level is a good ten decibels below the national median and the greenery around it far above; silence here is a measurable fact, not a mood word.
The wealth & income pillar leans on property value alone, because Statistics Netherlands does not publish incomes and social assistance for so few households. For families the sum is short: the nearest primary school is kilometres away, and that is the component that weighs most heavily in that pillar.
