De Koumen is a compact yet economically active district characterized by a working population of 170 employed residents supporting a diverse business ecosystem. With 230 registered business establishments operating across 289 non-residential properties, the area demonstrates considerable commercial vitality for its size of just 355 inhabitants. The district's economic profile is notably balanced across multiple sectors: trade and hospitality dominate with 85 establishments, reflecting a retail and food-service oriented market, while business services contribute 45 venues that cater to professional and administrative needs. Industrial and energy operations maintain a solid presence with 40 facilities, and transport, information, and communications sectors add a further 30 establishments, indicating that De Koumen functions as a mixed-use hub rather than a single-sector district.
For prospective commercial tenants and buyers, De Koumen presents particular advantages for retailers and hospitality operators given the concentration of trade and catering businesses, which suggests established customer traffic and complementary service networks. The net labour participation rate of 59 percent among the 195 local households indicates a workforce available for on-site employment, though the most significant opportunity lies in serving the broader catchment area's purchasing power. The presence of substantial transport and logistics facilities positions the area as suitable for businesses requiring distribution capacity or light industrial operations, while the 45 business service establishments suggest that professional office users will find a supportive ecosystem of complementary companies and services within easy reach.
