Scores per pillar

Leyenburg, in south-west The Hague, pairs a high ownership rate — 55 per cent, unusual for so dense a district — with mostly stacked housing: barely 10 per cent is single-family. Amenities land at 8.6 and safety keeps its head above water at 4.2, better than many inner-city Hague neighbourhoods. Housing remains the weak point at 3.1. Half of households are single-person, and the average home, at 282,000 euro, sits below the national middle.
