School close by, shops further off
For almost everything in 't Eigen en Hoogstraat you walk a few minutes: supermarket, school and restaurant are within five hundred metres. For the GP you travel more than two kilometres and for the station more than ten, and those two together push the amenities pillar down to 5.5 — the weakest figure here, in an otherwise strong profile.
The tree canopy within three hundred metres is more than twice the national level and greenery far above the median; only the noise level hovers around the national middle, and that holds the quiet & nature pillar at 6.9.
The wealth & income pillar leans almost entirely on one component. The income distribution barely differs from the national one and vacancy is a quarter of the usual level, but the property value stays just below the median and the social assistance rate is close to double. That makes the 6.1 a middling figure without an outlier.
