Scores per pillar

City is the heart of Enschede: three-quarters of households are single occupants, ownership is all but absent at 8 percent, and bars and restaurants are on the corner. Amenities duly earn a 9.6. Safety comes in at 2.7, on a crime figure heavily distorted by the crowds shopping and going out — adjusted for that footfall, the picture softens. The average home is inexpensive at €226,000, and the total stalls at 2.6.
