Overview

A portrait of the place.

Address, neighbourhood, municipality, province, and one composite Place Score drawn from dozens of indicators.

01
Place scores

Calm, Nature, Energy, Settled.

Four composite scores. Higher simply means more of a thing — not better, not worse.

02
Ground

How deep the land sits.

A 500-metre elevation cross-section through your front garden, measured by the Dutch AHN survey to the half-metre.

03
Breath & light

The air you take in.

Live NO₂, PM₁₀, and PM₂.₅ readings from the RIVM network — with WHO guideline markers and a sun-path diagram.

04
Surroundings

A one-kilometre frame.

A 25-centimetre aerial image of your address with water, roads, and greenery — and the nearest school, shop and doctor.

05
Reach

Everyday life in kilometres.

A radial chart of the distance to the nearest school, doctor, train, motorway, airport, and neighbouring city.
