Everything close by, little to spend

In Tubantia-Toekomst it is mostly possessions that go missing. Violence is below the national median, while burglary sits at twice it and vandalism well above — the profile of a place where you had better bring your bike inside, rather than one where you would rather stay in of an evening. That distinction comes from the breakdown, not from the total figure, which is only just above the national median.

On wealth the picture is largely, though not entirely, unfavourable: the property value lags well behind, the top income group is thin, and social assistance runs at more than twice the national median. Vacancy is the exception and sits below the median — little stands empty here.

The 3.7 for quiet & nature follows from the surroundings: less greenery within three hundred metres than is usual nationally, and a noise level above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tubantia-Toekomst a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Tubantia-Toekomst comes out at 28 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Tubantia-Toekomst?

In Tubantia-Toekomst the police recorded 184 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (28 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 Tubantia-Toekomst calculated?

Tubantia-Toekomst scores 4.1 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 Tubantia-Toekomst 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.
