Everything for children close by, and nowhere weak
What puts De Baarzen at the top is not a single outlier but the absence of a weak spot: none of the five pillars drops away, and that is rarer than one high score.
The crime picture is unusually clear-cut. Violence, vandalism and property crime all sit below the national middle; only burglary edges above it. What a resident notices is a difference in kind rather than in volume: the offences reported here are more often about belongings than about people, and that is exactly what a 7.9 for safety does not show.
The 9.3 for families rests on the primary school five hundred metres away, the same distance as the supermarket and the GP. Parents here walk. Against those short lines stands a wealth score that stalls: property value is above the national median, but so is the share of residents on social assistance, and that pulls the pillar back to the middle.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Baarzen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Baarzen comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: De Baarzen is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Baarzen?
In De Baarzen the police recorded 59 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 De Baarzen calculated?
De Baarzen scores 9.5 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 De Baarzen 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.
