TU-Campus

2,910 residents · postal code 2628 · Part of Wippolder, Delft

Bottom 7% in the Netherlands

Safe streets, thinner wallets

On the TU-Campus nobody lives who is over sixty-five and nobody under fifteen, and almost nine in ten households consist of one person. Seven in ten fall into the lowest income group. That explains the 3.1 for wealth & income, but it is a score saying more about life stage here than about poverty — the social assistance rate is in fact well below the national median.

The crime total is above the national level and consists almost entirely of property offences, at more than three times the national median. Violence stays at less than half that median and burglary far below it. That is where the 7.2 for safety comes from: the two heaviest components are favourable here.

The primary school is one and a half kilometres away, which together with the population profile explains the 3.2 for families in this Delft neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

Is TU-Campus a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, TU-Campus comes out at 40 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: TU-Campus is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 7.2. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 40 records per 1,000, 0.9 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in TU-Campus?

In TU-Campus the police recorded 149 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (40 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 TU-Campus calculated?

TU-Campus scores 3.0 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 TU-Campus 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.
