Scores per pillar
The old centre of Maastricht is the city's historic and tourist heart, where 81 percent of households are one person and barely two percent of residents are under fifteen. Amenities score a 9.5, with a restaurant literally around the corner. Crime looks extreme at nearly 198 offences per 1,000 people present, but that figure mainly reflects the mass of visitors the centre draws; safety still reaches only 3.2. Housing stays low at 2.8.
