Plenty of space, less prosperity

The social assistance rate in Tinga is many times the national median, and that is the component pushing the wealth & income pillar down to 3.2. Vacancy is in fact remarkably low; this is not a neighbourhood of empty buildings. It is the combination of a low property value and a large group on a small income.

Amenities show something the score of 6.4 does not tell you. The supermarket is around the corner, but the GP is more than two kilometres away and the nearest restaurant almost as far. That is the reverse order from most neighbourhoods, where the GP is the close one.

The 6.8 for quiet & nature is the highest score here: plenty of greenery, little noise and fewer than two thousand residents per square kilometre. Only the tree canopy stays below the national median — open green, then, not woodland.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tinga a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Tinga comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Tinga?

In Tinga the police recorded 50 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (22 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 Tinga calculated?

Tinga scores 3.9 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 Tinga 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.
