Scores per pillar

Densely built Amsterdam south: more than 22,000 residents per square kilometre and not one family house. Amenities are near-flawless at 9.9 and social cohesion sits at 9.5. Safety supplies the contrast — a thin 3.6, though that figure is corrected for the crowds that shops and cafes draw. Over half of households are single, the average value is €529,000, and just 37 per cent of homes are owner-occupied.
