Scores per pillar

Eindhoven's Binnenstad is city living distilled: three-quarters of households are single occupants, and families, at five percent, barely register. Bars and restaurants sit on the doorstep and amenities score 8.2. Safety comes in at 2.5, the lowest grade on the scale, on a crime figure heavily inflated by the crowds the nightlife draws — adjusted for that footfall, the picture softens. Income per resident is high at €43,000, while owner-occupation, at 20 percent, runs far below the national norm.
