Verspreide huizen Hoeven

Everything for children close by, and little room
Verspreide huizen Hoeven is thinly populated, sits half in the green, and still scores only 4.1 for quiet and nature. One measurement explains that: traffic noise here is more than twelve decibels above the Dutch middle value, the highest you will meet in an area of this building density. Space and silence are not the same thing here.
The counterpart is the 9.3 for families. More than four in ten households have children, the primary school is six hundred metres away, and three quarters of the homes were built after 2000. The station too is close, at one and a half kilometres — unusual for a neighbourhood of scattered building.
Wealth and income comes out at 7.0 and that score is not equally strong everywhere. The top income group is broader than nationally, social assistance is below it and vacancy minimal, but property value stays just under the Dutch level — and that is by far the heaviest component of the pillar.
