ClearSpot score
43%
At 43%, Hulste's environmental profile shows considerable pressure - particularly from wind turbines. Individual neighbourhoods may differ significantly from this city-centre average.
Published tables use the same default thresholds for everyone so rankings stay comparable. On the home map, your tuned sensitivities still drive the live chip.
Environmental indicators
| Module | Score | What this means |
|---|---|---|
| Wind turbines | 74% | High wind turbine pressure (74%). One or more documented wind farms are within the default precautionary radius. See the wind turbine data guide for methodology. |
| Pollen | 0% | Pollen data shows no documented allergenic species exceeding default alert thresholds in this reference period. |
| Air quality | 0% | No air quality pressure detected within default ClearSpot thresholds for this location. |
| Noise | 0% | Noise mapping shows no significant pressure from motorways, railways, or airports within the default sensitivity radius. |
| Light pollution | 0% | Night-sky radiance registers no documented pressure - this area scores within the darker end of ClearSpot's light pollution range. |

Higher values mean more pressure against default thresholds for that module. They roll up into the headline ClearSpot score.
FAQ - Hulste
Is this place healthy to live?
Based on ClearSpot's environmental model, Hulste achieves 43%. Wind turbines documented nearby. Higher scores indicate less documented environmental pressure at default thresholds - the live map lets you fine-tune this assessment to your own sensitivities.
What is air quality like here?
Hulste scores 0% on ClearSpot's air quality module. This is derived from monthly averages of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, ozone, and carbon monoxide from open government monitoring data. No documented exceedance of WHO 2021 guidelines was detected in the reference period.
Are there wind turbines nearby?
ClearSpot's wind turbine database documents one or more wind turbines within a close-range pressure band near Hulste. The wind turbine pressure score is 74% at default 1.5 km sensitivity settings. Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, the French OREOL registry, and EMODnet offshore records.
How noisy is it?
ClearSpot noise data for Hulste: 0% burden. No major strategic noise sources are mapped within the default sensitivity radius. Noise scores are updated annually for the strategic layer and monthly for the modelled road-noise layer.

How to read this place
At default settings the indexed pressures are relatively high here. That is not a medical diagnosis; it is a prompt to inspect turbines, air, pollen, noise, and night-sky data in context and with your sensitivities.
Short-term vs long-term
In the short term, spikes come from weather, pollen season, construction, or night lighting—use the live map when deciding whether to open a window or plan outdoor time.
Over months and years, patterns matter for where you settle: turbine proximity, chronic noise corridors, recurring pollen sources, and persistent air basins. The blog and data guides explain how each layer is built.
