Scores per pillar

Electrobuurt in Hilversum-Oost pairs an amenities score of 9.9 — the supermarket sits three hundred metres away — with a mere 2.6 for green space, among the lowest in the country. The overall score of 4.7 falls below the national average, partly on account of a weak social climate at 3.9. With only 40 percent owner-occupied homes and a WOZ value of €370,000, below the €422,000 median, this reads as a renters' neighbourhood. The crime rate of 22.9 per 1,000 people present sits just under the national figure.
