neighbourhood in Gouda
Tuinenbuurt
1,800 residents · postal code 2809 · Part of Westergouwe, Gouda
Safe, but not spacious
Nearly a third of the residents of the Tuinenbuurt are under fifteen and hardly anyone is 65 or older. Combined with a primary school five hundred metres away, that produces a 9.5 for families — here the score holds on both sides of the pillar, which is far from always the case.
The 3.8 for quiet & nature stands out alongside it. Greenery within three hundred metres is simply above the national median; it is the tree canopy that is missing, at just over a tenth of the national level. In a neighbourhood built entirely after 2000 that is the difference between laid turf and mature trees.
Safety reaches a 9.8 and it rests on every offence type: all four are below the national median, residential burglary at practically zero. The railway station, more than four kilometres away, is the only thing pushing the amenities pillar down.

Frequently asked questions
Is Tuinenbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Tuinenbuurt comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Tuinenbuurt 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 Tuinenbuurt?
In Tuinenbuurt the police recorded 26 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Tuinenbuurt calculated?
Tuinenbuurt scores 9.9 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 Tuinenbuurt 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.
