The best neighbourhoods for families in Utrecht

Searching with children changes the maths: school and childcare around the corner, a safe street and neighbours with kids. This list runs on the families score, which does not count towards the total score by default. Only neighbourhoods with at least 100 residents are ranked.

What counts

This list ranks purely on families; the other scores don't count.

The rank is the national position on this score, across every neighbourhood with a grade — including the small ones that do not make this list. Where grades tie, that rank sets the order: the grade is rounded to one decimal, the rank is not.
