neighbourhood in Valkenswaard
Keersop
50 residents · postal code 5551 · Part of Dommelen, Valkenswaard
Room to spare, amenities further off
Keersop has no score for safety and none for wealth & income, which means its overall 8.4 rests on three pillars instead of five. In a hamlet of around fifty residents that is the first thing a reader should know: more has gone unmeasured than measured.
What is there is pronounced. The 9.9 for quiet & nature is among the highest in the country: the noise level is more than seven decibels below the national median and three quarters of the surroundings within three hundred metres is green. The flip side sits in the amenities pillar, which stays at 4.8 — supermarket, GP and restaurant are each around a kilometre away, but the railway station more than twelve. For the daily trip to work or school, that is the number that counts.
