Scores per pillar

In Groningen's southern city centre, 83 percent of households are single people and barely one percent of residents are under fifteen — a pronounced student quarter. Crime is extreme at 136 offences per thousand, more than five times the national middle, though the bustle of the centre weighs heavily in that. Safety reaches no higher than 2.5, the lowest in this set. Amenities, by contrast, score 9.9. Ownership is rare at twelve percent.
