Safe, and nowhere really weak
Four of the five pillars stand firm in Verspreide huizen Kesteren; the fifth pulls the other way. Amenities gets no further than a 6.8, and that is exactly what living out here costs: supermarket, GP and primary school all sit just over a kilometre away, the station further still. Anyone without a car or a bike at the door notices it every single day.
The wealth is not carried by one item but spread right across. Property value lies well above the national median, so does the share of high incomes, social assistance does not occur in this area and vacancy does not deviate. For wealth & income that is rare: usually property value carries the score on its own while something else sinks.
One last oddity sits in the greenery. There is plenty of it within three hundred metres, comfortably above the national middle, but the tree canopy reaches only half the median. Green here mostly means open land with little crown overhead — shade in a hot summer is barely to be found.
