Safe, and nowhere really weak
A quarter of the area within three hundred metres of Tuindorp lies under tree canopy, almost three times as much as in an ordinary Dutch neighbourhood. That is this place's most tangible property and it is directly why quiet & nature comes out at a 7.4 despite noise slightly above the median.
Wealth is broadly carried: property value well above the Dutch middle, a third of households in the highest income group, fewer low incomes than nationally, social assistance below the median and ordinary vacancy. No component contradicts it.
The families score of 6.8 stands out against that, and the most likely explanation is distance: the primary school here is a kilometre away, while that component determines almost two thirds of the pillar. Where childcare and secondary schools stand is not known, so it is no more than an indication. The station is one and a half kilometres away, unusually close for a neighbourhood of this low density.

Frequently asked questions
Is Tuindorp a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Tuindorp comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Tuindorp 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 Tuindorp?
In Tuindorp the police recorded 66 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Tuindorp calculated?
Tuindorp scores 9.7 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 Tuindorp 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.
