Scores per pillar

More than seventeen thousand residents per square kilometre and not a single family house: this is Amsterdam-Zuid at its densest. Amenities reach a maximum 10.0 and social cohesion a 9.5, with an average home value of €667,000, well above the national middle. Nature drops to 2.5, the lowest there is — greenery is all but absent. Safety lags at 4.6, though the figure is corrected for the crowds a central district like this pulls in.
