Everything close by, little to spend
Velp-Zuid beneden spoorlijn scores a 9.0 for amenities and a 3.3 for wealth, and that difference is the story of the neighbourhood: everything is close by, but the property value comes out far below the Dutch middle, the social assistance share lies more than four times above it and low incomes occur considerably more often than nationally.
The 3.9 for quiet calls for nuance. The crown area of trees here actually lies above the national value, so trees are not what is lacking; what drags the pillar down is the noise level, the density and the complete absence of open water. With the offences the picture is calmer than the wealth figure suggests. The total stays below the national value and only vandalism sticks out above it, which produces a 6.4 for safety.
