Everything close by, except school and childcare
Heeze has no safety score, and that changes the meaning of the rest: the total here rests on four pillars instead of five. A 7.9 without that component weighs differently from the same score in a neighbourhood where the crime figures do count.
Of those four, wealth is the most even. The property value lies above the Dutch median, social assistance almost exactly at the national level, and good incomes occur more often than average. No component deviates sharply; the 6.7 is a sum of small pluses.
The 6.2 for families is the lowest score, and there it is not down to distance: the primary school is six hundred metres away. It is in who lives there. Almost three in ten residents are 65 or older.
