Well-off, and well out of town
The 3.9 for families in Baarschot is almost entirely a distance figure: the primary school is over two kilometres away, and school distance is the heaviest component of that pillar. Where childcare and secondary education sit is not something this page knows, but the direction is clear.
Wealth & income goes the other way, and on all four components at once: property value is far above the national median, the top income group is broader than national, the bottom one narrower, and social assistance does not occur. Only vacancy is slightly above the national middle.
The noise level shows the character of the place most sharply: almost nine decibels below the national median. That is what carries the quiet & nature pillar, because the tree canopy here lags behind.

Frequently asked questions
Is Baarschot a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Baarschot comes out at 23 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Baarschot?
In Baarschot the police recorded 6 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 Baarschot calculated?
Baarschot scores 5.3 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 Baarschot 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.
