By national ratios Nijmegen supports about 30 full-time foundation specialist pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. Ownership is split — 44 % owner-occupied — so a typical week mixes homeowners with landlords and property managers who buy in volume. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
