Safe, but everything is a drive away
Anyone in Mijnsheerenland Woonkern who wants to catch a train drives eleven kilometres first. That is the brake on the amenities score, a 5.5, even though supermarket and doctor are both within a kilometre here: the pillar counts distant destinations just as heavily as everyday ones.
The 8.2 for wealth & income does not rest on a single outlier. Property values sit above the national median, the share of higher incomes is one and a half times the national figure, and both social assistance and vacancy stay below the median. That kind of even picture across every component is rarer than a high score on one point.
Almost a fifth of the surface area is water. That lifts the quiet & nature score, together with a noise level six decibels below the national median.
