Safe, but everything is a drive away
At forty-five decibels Lden, Dedemsvaart-Zuidoost is one of the quieter places in the country, almost six below the national median, and a seventh of the surface is water. That is how the 7.9 for quiet & nature comes about.
Two thirds of the homes date from after the turn of the century and households with children are almost as numerous here as those without; together with a primary school eight hundred metres away that gives an 8.1 for families.
Wealth & income lags behind without standing out anywhere: property values are below the national median, the income distribution is close to the national one and only social assistance is clearly above the middle. And as so often in such places the train is the sacrifice — the station is thirteen kilometres away, which holds amenities at a 5.1 despite shops and a GP within a kilometre.
