Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
