Scores per pillar
The centre of Hilversum is city living in miniature: 57 percent living alone, few family houses and bars on the corner. The social measure at 8.8 and amenities at 9.3 score high, but safety stalls at 2.6, on more than 121 offences per 1,000 people present — a figure heavily inflated by shopping and nightlife crowds. Adjusted for that footfall, the picture softens. The total stays at 5.2.
