Buitengebied Baarle-Nassau
1,915 residents · postal code 5111 · Part of Baarle-Nassau, Baarle-Nassau
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
Thirty-eight decibels. Noise levels here sit so far below the national middle that the quiet & nature pillar reaches 9.6, the top end for the Netherlands. The price of that shows up in the other figures.
The families pillar stalls at 2.8, and distance explains most of it: the primary school is more than three kilometres away, and school, childcare and secondary education together make up almost two thirds of that pillar. Where the latter two are is not known, so they cannot be ruled out. The railway station is almost twenty kilometres away.
On wealth & income the components point in two directions. Property values are above the national middle, but so is the share of low-income households, and vacancy is more than double the median. A 6.1 here is not a middling picture but the outcome of extremes.

Frequently asked questions

In Buitengebied Baarle-Nassau the police recorded 70 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Buitengebied Baarle-Nassau calculated?
Buitengebied Baarle-Nassau scores 3.6 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Buitengebied Baarle-Nassau lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
