Plenty of space, less prosperity
The supermarket, GP and primary school in Nieuw-Vossemeer are all three within six hundred metres, and yet amenities gets no further than 5.7. The station is the reason: it is over fifteen kilometres away and simply counts in that pillar.
Property value here is substantially below the national median, while the income distribution does not deviate and vacancy is low. Because property value is the heaviest component of the wealth & income pillar, that one component pushes the figure down to 5.1 — the rest of the picture is nationally ordinary.
What the neighbourhood does have is space. The share of greenery nearby is far above the national middle and the noise level below it; that is where the 7.7 for quiet & nature comes from.
