Everything close by, little space

At 3.1, the quiet & nature pillar is the lowest figure in omg. Bej.Centrum/Molen, and that pillar is not about crime but about density, noise, greenery, tree canopy and water. Four of those point the same way: little greenery nearby, a noise level above the national median, no open water and dense building. Only the tree canopy is nationally average.

That is exactly where the amenities figure comes from. The station is one and a half kilometres away, the supermarket and primary school under a kilometre — that is the other side of the same density.

Property value is virtually on the national median, and yet wealth & income stalls at 5.6. The social assistance rate is the reason: it is well over twice the national level, while the income distribution barely deviates from it.
