Living in Gooisekant Oost, Almere

Gooisekant Oost is not an average residential neighbourhood, and you notice that immediately. With 160 residents and only six registered homes, it is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in Almere. The population composition is striking: seventy of the one hundred and sixty residents fall into the 25 to 45 age group, and as many as 135 of the households are single-person households. Only three percent are married. That says something about the character of the neighbourhood: this is not a family district, but a place where relatively young, independent people live. The high electricity consumption of 6,540 kWh per connection and the complete absence of gas usage point to all-electric homes, which fits with newer construction or specific housing types such as student complexes or small-scale residential projects.
