Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

A 4.0 for wealth & income suggests a single story, but in Tuinwijk that only half holds. The property value sits well below the national middle and the social assistance rate is more than three times as high — that is where the score comes from. The income spread barely deviates: the share of households with a low income is exactly national, the share with a high income a fraction under. Vacancy is average too.

Alongside that stands a 9.2 for families, and this time it is genuinely backed by both sides of the pillar: the primary school is half a kilometre away and there are more households with children than nationally.

The safety pillar does something rare for a neighbourhood with this wealth profile: violence, theft and vandalism all three sit at or below the Dutch level. Only burglary stands out.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tuinwijk a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Tuinwijk comes out at 20 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Tuinwijk?

In Tuinwijk the police recorded 51 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (20 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 Tuinwijk calculated?

Tuinwijk scores 7.5 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 Tuinwijk 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.
