Well-off, schools and childcare further off

With fewer than three hundred residents per square kilometre, 's-Gravenzande Buitengebied is empty, and that shows in almost every figure. Shop, GP and school are all nearly two kilometres away and the station more than fourteen; that is where the 4.9 for amenities comes from.

That distance to the primary school also explains the 3.5 for families — school and childcare distance make up almost two thirds of the pillar — while the share of households with children is not far off the national middle. So it is distance, not population.

The 8.2 for wealth & income is strikingly high and comes mainly from property value, at one and a half times the national median; the social assistance rate is far below the Dutch middle as well. The income distribution itself, by contrast, barely deviates.
