About 44 percent of the households consists of a single-person household, 31 percent out of households with children and the other 24 percent out of households without children. The average income per household is around € 34,000. Many residents of this municipality travel every day by car or public transport for work to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport and Leiden.
