Scores per pillar
Once an industrial estate, the Binckhorst is a district mid-transformation: three-quarters of its homes went up after 2000, barely 8 percent are owner-occupied, and 55 percent of households are single-person. Children and over-65s are rare, together under ten percent. Amenities score a strong 8.2, but safety stays weak at 3.3, against more than ninety recorded crimes per thousand people present — a figure adjusted for the churn of an area still being built out.
