Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Almost three in ten residents of Zwaag - Buurt 30 01 are 65 or over, and the share of children sits at the national average. Yet families scores 9.4. That figure mainly measures how far school and childcare are, and the primary school here is three hundred metres away. So it says something about accessibility, not about how many children live here.

Wealth & income comes out at 5.2 and falls into two halves. Property value is below the national median, the share of households with a high income below it and the share with a low income above it — but social assistance hardly occurs here and vacancy is low. Among offences the total is well below the national median; only violence and vandalism edge above it, which keeps the safety figure at 7.4.
