How we calculate

Vossenberg sits against Helmond's inner city, amenities a stone's throw away — a 9.7, restaurant three hundred metres off. Little balances it: wealth & income drops to 3.4 and safety to 4.5 amid nearly 40 crimes per 1,000 people present. Half the homes are ground-level, and nearly half of households live alone. At €269,000, home values stay below the national middle.
