The quietest, most spacious neighbourhoods in Utrecht

Ranked on population density, vacancy and share of water — how quiet and spacious it is. Green space is not in there yet: CBS does not publish it. Only neighbourhoods with at least 100 residents are ranked.

What counts

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.
