Scores per pillar

The centre of Heerenveen shows the sharpest contrast in this set: amenities reach a 9.8, everything within walking distance, but safety sinks to 2.5 amid more than 95 crimes per 1,000 people present — though that figure is corrected for the crowds shops and bars bring. Two-thirds of households live alone and only 22 percent own their home. At €224,000, home values stay far below the national middle.
