Scores per pillar

Overhoeks is a brand-new neighbourhood on the IJ, directly opposite Amsterdam's centre: every home dates from after 2000 and income per resident, at €63,000, is the highest in this set. The social fabric (9.6) and housing (8.2) score high, but safety lags at 3.3 and nearly 49 crimes per 1,000 people present, partly owing to the crowds around the waterfront attractions. Families are scarce and half of households are single people.
