Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
A 10.0 for families is not handed out lightly. Medemblik Randwijk en Gildenwijk combines a primary school three hundred metres away with more than four in ten households with children and a share of young children above the national level — the components that make up this pillar all point the same way.
Wealth & income sits at exactly the opposite end, at a 3.6: low property value, high social assistance, a thin top income group and a broad bottom one. The 5.7 for safety also needs explaining, because the total number of reports is below the national median. It comes down to violence: that occurs here more than twice as often as nationally, and it is precisely that component that weighs the most.
