School close by, shops further off
In Tollebeek-woonkern the primary school is four hundred metres away and the supermarket six hundred, but the GP is nearly five kilometres off and the railway station more than twenty. That gap explains in one go a 9.4 for families next to a 4.5 for amenities: what a village organises itself is arranged here, what the wider region has to supply is not.
Crime figures are below the national middle for all four types, with violence at barely two-thirds of it. That is where the 8.9 for safety comes from.
The wealth & income pillar stalls at 5.2, and that is not one weak point but a whole that shifts slightly: property values are below the median, the share of low incomes above it, the share of high incomes below. Only the rate of social assistance works out favourably.
