Zaltbommel Spellewaard

Everything close by, little to spend
Zaltbommel Spellewaard comes out at 9.4 overall without any one pillar doing the work: safety, amenities and families are all three high, quiet & nature sits just above the middle and only wealth & income stalls at 5.4.
That wealth & income score is made of components that contradict each other. Property value is below the national middle and the lowest income group is slightly broader than nationally, while the top group is in fact slightly broader than the median and vacancy stays at a fraction of the national level. No consistent picture, and the score matches that exactly.
On safety the number of reported offences is far below the middle; violence, burglary and theft all three stay under it. Only vandalism is just above, and that is the lightest of the four components.
