De Korte Akkeren

De Korte Akkeren in Gouda mixes old and new residential pockets with industrial estates along the Hollandsche IJssel, five neighbourhoods and over 9,700 residents together. Amenities are all but complete at 9.5. Below that it falls away: safety 5.2, nature and housing at 4.2 and 4.0, social life 3.5. That social figure is the clear laggard. With an overall of 4.4, this district reads as well-served but socially vulnerable.
