Scores per pillar

A restaurant a hundred metres away, an amenities mark of 9.7, and at the same time a safety score of 2.6: this is the student heart of Groningen, at 16,000 residents per square kilometre. Four in five households are single-person and barely three percent of residents are under fifteen. The tally of nearly 51 crimes per thousand people present partly reflects the crowds that shops and nightlife draw, but housing and social cohesion stay low at 2.8.
