Climate Atlas — Theme Heat — Elderly in hardened neighborhoods

This map shows the percentage of elderly people living in the most hardened neighbourhoods of the province of South Holland. For this, an age limit of 65 years has been maintained. Greening neighbourhoods with a lot of hardening can contribute to lowering the temperature, infiltration of rainwater and the habitability of the neighborhood. This card is intended to help organisations prioritise their efforts, by providing insight into which very hardened neighbourhoods live in many elderly people. In these neighbourhoods you can then opt for extra greening, in order to prevent heat stress* among the elderly. The neighbourhoods in the province of Zuid-Holland that are less than 60 % hardened, and neighborhoods where less than 10 % of the residents are over 65 years old are not shown on this map.
