Everything for children close by, thinner wallets
A 9.9 for families puts Nieuwland en Lentfert in the national top hundred, and unusually the figure has two reasons rather than one: the primary school is three hundred metres away, and a lot of children actually live here. Usually distance carries the figure on its own.
Set against that is the neighbourhood's weakest pillar, a 3.6 for wealth & income, and it is weak across the board. Property values are far below the national median, close to half of households are on a low income, the top income group is thin, and both social assistance and vacancy are above the national level.
Also striking is the tree canopy, more than twice as dense as the national norm. In a densely built neighbourhood that is what still holds the quiet pillar at a 6.1, because the density itself works the other way.

How much crime is there in Nieuwland en Lentfert?
