Everything close by, little to spend

Ulft-Centrum en Ulft-Oost has everything within walking distance — supermarket, GP, school and restaurant inside seven hundred metres — and at the same time the heaviest income picture of the five pillars. The property value stays far below the national middle, the lowest income group covers almost every second household, the highest is markedly thinner than nationally and the social assistance rate is nearly three times the median. Only vacancy works out better than average.

The safety pillar stops at 5.1 while the total number of reports is below the national middle. That is down to violence, which comes out well above it and weighs heaviest of the four; property offences too are slightly above.

The population is old and its households small: almost a third are 65 or older and more than four in ten households consist of one person. Greenery around the built-up area is above the national middle and noise below it.
