Safe, but everything is a drive away

Verspreide huizen Norden, Bijsteren en Hoef counts just over two hundred residents per square kilometre, and it shows in every figure. Four fifths of the surface within three hundred metres is green and tree canopy is almost double the national median; quiet & nature therefore comes out at 8.9.

The wealth & income pillar stands at 8.7, and that holds almost across the board: high property value, many high incomes, few low incomes and not a single recorded social assistance claim. The exception is vacancy, which here is above the national level.

Amenities stops at 5.2 because supermarket and GP are both a good two kilometres away. The railway station, by contrast, is close, which is unusual for an area this dispersed.
