Everything close by, little to spend
The GP in Tuindorp Zuid is one and a half kilometres away, while the supermarket, the school and the restaurant are all within seven hundred metres. Even so the neighbourhood earns an 8.3 for amenities: within that pillar the supermarket weighs a little more heavily than the GP, and the station at one and a half kilometres helps.
Among reported offences there is no exception. Violence, burglary, property crime and criminal damage are all four above the national median, none of them spectacularly so, but together enough for a 4.2.
Wealth & income reaches a 3.4 and the social assistance rate carries that most sharply: more than five times the national one. Property values are far below the national median and higher incomes less common than usual. Vacancy is the only favourable component, and that is not enough to carry a pillar leaning on property value for almost forty per cent.

Frequently asked questions
Is Tuindorp Zuid a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Tuindorp Zuid comes out at 33 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 Tuindorp Zuid?
In Tuindorp Zuid the police recorded 123 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (33 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 Zuid calculated?
Tuindorp Zuid scores 3.5 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 Zuid 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.
