If you talk to people about what they are looking for in regards to rating a country or a city, there are probably a lot of different factors that come into play.

At Huurportaal we are working with people who are in the process of moving everyday, exchanging questions and information about certain cities and areas, across all of our markets. These daily interactions have led to the preparation of this Quality Index and ranking of the 12 provinces in the Netherlands, based on 8 categories which indicate different aspects of the quality of living.

Our Quality Index ranked the Provinces of the Netherlands through the following categories:

introduction
City

Methodology

All data has been collected and processed from the Office for National Statistics. The latest data available has been used for each datasource. Min-max normalization has been used to index the data sources in question. This method of indexing allows us to convert any kind of data to a value between 1-10, where 1 represents the lowest/worst value and 10 the highest/best value within the category. This means that the higher a score a city achieves, the better it is relative to others. To ensure a precise and representative result as possible, all cities missing more than two data sources have been removed from the Quality index.
