Everything for children close by, and little room
Eleven decibels above the national median: the noise level in Voorburg Noord zuid explains the 2.7 for quiet & nature almost on its own. Little greenery and a high population density come on top of it, and there is no surface water.
Against that, the railway station is a kilometre away and the supermarket, the GP and a restaurant are within the same radius. That yields an 8.3 for amenities. Living here means trading quiet for a station round the corner.
The wealth & income pillar splits apart. More than a third of households are in the top income group and considerably fewer than nationally in the bottom one, but property values stay below the national median and social assistance is more than three times above it. A 6.3 sums up that contrast without making it visible.
