Green = best of the selection on that metric. The Netherlands column does not compete: it is the yardstick.

In the Netherlands column the grades show where the average Dutch resident lives; the measurements show the national median, the middle of all neighbourhoods.

How is this grade calculated?
  • The grade per theme is the area's position in the national ranking for that theme, converted to a scale from 2.5 to 10.0.
  • A district or municipal grade is the population-weighted average of the positions of the neighbourhoods within it.
  • The figures in the table are not positions but measured values — for a district or municipality the population-weighted average of the neighbourhoods themselves.
  • The Netherlands column shows where the average Dutch resident lives for the grades, and the median of all neighbourhoods for the measurements.
