Buitengebied Barneveld
2,785 residents · postal code 3771 · Part of Barneveld, Barneveld
Room to spare, amenities further off
The Buitengebied Barneveld has the highest property value in this area and at the same time a vacancy rate three times the national level. That is an unusual combination: expensive buildings, part of which are not in use. The income distribution is otherwise unremarkable and the social assistance rate sits below the Dutch median, so the 7.6 for wealth & income hangs here almost entirely on that property value.
The 5.5 for families is this area's real story. Almost half of households have children and almost a quarter of residents are under fifteen — by national standards markedly many. But the primary school is two kilometres away, and school distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar. So there are many children here who face a journey every morning.
The 4.3 for amenities follows the same logic: supermarket, GP and restaurant are all kilometres away. What you get in return is a density of just over a hundred residents per square kilometre.

Frequently asked questions
Is Buitengebied Barneveld a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Buitengebied Barneveld comes out at 33 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 7.8. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 33 records per 1,000, 2.0 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Buitengebied Barneveld?
In Buitengebied Barneveld the police recorded 171 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Barneveld calculated?
Buitengebied Barneveld scores 7.6 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 Barneveld 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.
