Everything close by, safety lags

In the Binnenstad of Tiel everything is within walking distance: supermarket, restaurant, station, GP. That produces a 9.4 for amenities and it is at once the only figure here that rises above the middle.

The price shows in the crime figures. Theft is almost four times the national level, but violence is raised here too — so this is not the familiar city-centre picture in which mainly belongings disappear and things are otherwise calm. Both feed into the 2.7 for safety.

The third pointer is vacancy. More than one in ten addresses is empty, against a national level of around four per cent, and the social assistance rate is a multiple of the Dutch middle. Vacancy counts towards the wealth & income pillar and, together with the low property value, explains why it lands on 3.0. A centre with everything in reach and little that holds on.

Frequently asked questions

Is Binnenstad a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Binnenstad comes out at 62 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Binnenstad is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Binnenstad?

In Binnenstad the police recorded 243 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (62 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 Binnenstad calculated?

Binnenstad scores 2.9 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 Binnenstad 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.
