Everything close by, little to spend
For Twello-Midden the crime figures are missing, and that has consequences for the rest of the page: the overall score of 7.2 rests here on four pillars. What a reader would want to know about safety is simply not there, and that is the most important caveat when comparing with another neighbourhood.
What is there is an unusually complete village centre. The supermarket, the GP, the primary school and a restaurant are all within a kilometre, and the railway station within that too. An 8.6 for amenities is high for a centre of this size.
At the same time this is a strongly ageing neighbourhood. More than a third of the residents are 65 or older and households with children are thin on the ground. That pushes the families pillar down to a 6.4 while the school is around the corner; the distance is not the bottleneck here, the age structure is.
