Everything for children close by, and little room
Every home in Tongelresche Akkers was built after 2000, and that shows up throughout the numbers: a property value well above the national middle, almost no vacancy, and a population in which one in four residents is under fifteen against only seven percent over 65. For an Eindhoven neighbourhood that is an unusually young make-up.
The wealth & income pillar reaches 9.0 resting on all four components, not one: high incomes far above the national level, low incomes below it, social assistance around the middle and almost no vacancy.
The exception is quiet & nature at 4.2. Green and tree canopy both stay below the national value, the noise level is above it and there is barely any water. New-build packed closely together makes for a good housing stock, but no space around it — and the quiet & nature pillar measures exactly that.

Frequently asked questions
Is Tongelresche Akkers a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Tongelresche Akkers comes out at 18 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 Tongelresche Akkers?
In Tongelresche Akkers the police recorded 47 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Tongelresche Akkers calculated?
Tongelresche Akkers scores 9.8 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 Tongelresche Akkers 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.
