Quality of life is highest in some rural Dutch areas: CBS
Dutch NewsRural areas in Utrecht, the Eindhoven region and the centre of Overijssel score highest for quality of life in the Netherlands, the latest CBS monitor has shown. In general, people in rural areas enjoy a better quality of life compared to city dwellers, CBS said, despite a marked difference between the three highest-rated rural areas and the northeast of Groningen and Drenthe. The CBS defines quality of life as having good health, a good education, few debts, a sense of achievement in work, and a safe and clean environment. People in urban areas, such as the four big cities, and cities in Brabant and Limburg have a lower quality of life – which translates into a higher number of people in debt, health problems and unemployment, the CBS said.
