The rental housing platform Rentola has just released its ranking of the best neighborhoods to live in Brussels. The study used the most recent data from the Brussels Institute for Statistics and Analysis. Neighborhoods were then rated in the following categories: Family & Life, Health, Jobs & Income, Education, Crime & Safety, Housing, and Ecology.
A press release tells us more regarding the methodology adopted: “To facilitate comparison, we employed a method called min-max normalization. This specific method readjusts the data on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 represents the lowest or least favorable value, while 10 corresponds to the highest or most favorable value in the specific categories examined. This approach allows easy comparison between different types of data“. But which are the neighborhoods where you should settle in Brussels?
We stay in Brussels and we reveal the winner of the best shrimp croquette in Brussels 2023:
A score of 7/10 for the winning district
If we are to believe the results, the city center of Brussels would be the ideal area to live in the capital with a final score of 7/10. Rentola indicates that the place “stands out in several categories. It particularly excels in the Family and Life, Health, Education and Ecology categories (with a 10/10 each time). It offers a remarkable quality of life, first-rate health services, quality education and is strongly committed to environmental sustainability“. On the other hand, the category dedicated to Security obtains a 1/10 and that devoted to Employment and Income 3.4/10.
Second place is occupied by Anderlecht with a score of 6.4/10. “Anderlecht’s notable strengths are found in Family & Living, Health, Crime & Security as well as housing prices. The neighborhood offers an appreciable quality of life, health services, security and affordable housing options“. Its best score is for housing (9.5) and its worst for employment and income (2.2). The podium is completed by Uccle which scores an honorable 5.8/10. Rentola depicts it as a neighborhood offering “strong employment opportunities and security. Uccle shines in the areas of employment and income and crime and security“. Then follow Jette (5.5) and Molenbeek Saint-Jean (5.4).
Rentola concludes his study by specifying that there is necessarily a neighborhood that meets our needs in Brussels, whether we are looking for quality education, professional opportunities or a pleasant family environment. The platform indicates that it is before “advised to take into account personal preferences, individual circumstances and specific needs. It is always recommended to conduct additional research and visit potential neighborhoods to evaluate the factors that match your personal needs“.
