Hasselt Dedemsvaart-Zuid
960 residents · postal code 8061 · Part of Hasselt, Zwartewaterland
Safe streets, thinner wallets
Nearly a third of the residents of Hasselt Dedemsvaart-Zuid are 65 or older, and yet the families pillar reaches 8.0. That looks contradictory but is not: the bulk of that figure consists of the distance to school and childcare, and the primary school here is two hundred metres away.
The quiet & nature score of 6.4 is a sum of opposing measurements. Greenery in the surroundings stays well below the national median, but it is quiet — traffic noise is seven decibels below the middle — and there is a relatively large amount of open water.
The wealth & income pillar lags behind at 3.7, and that is largely the property value, which sits well below the national median. The social assistance rate is only slightly above the median and vacancy below it; the weakness here is in house prices, not in a broad bottom layer.
