Well-off, and well out of town
The wealth & income pillar in Kern Leusden-Zuid points the same way in every one of its components: a property value far above the national median, a top income group much broader than the national one, a thinner bottom group, little social assistance and little vacancy. A 9.0 that leans on one figure is fragile; this one does not.
What the neighbourhood costs is distance. The primary school is one and a half kilometres away and that pushes the families pillar down to a 5.6, even though the share of households with children here is ordinary. Supermarket and doctor are more than a kilometre off, the station more than five. The 7.4 for quiet & nature fits the greenery nearby, which is far above the national median — although the noise level is higher than you would expect at such a score.
