Scores per pillar

Rarely is a population so lopsided: three in four households are single-person, and barely 3 per cent of residents are under fifteen. This crowded Groningen quarter breathes student city — 27 per cent ownership and an average value of €246,000. Amenities and safety both score well, at 8.4 and 8.3, but housing is the weak spot at 2.9 and social cohesion reaches no further than 3.7.
