Scores per pillar

Safety is Bergen's weak spot, at 2.6 — this Eindhoven city-centre neighbourhood records 91 crimes per 1,000 people present, nearly four times the national median of 24. Yet it isn't easily dismissed: social cohesion and amenities score highly, with a restaurant just around the corner. Families are rare here: 68 percent of households consist of a single person. Housing quality remains a weak point too.
