neighbourhood in Tilburg
Koningsplein
1,195 residents · postal code 5038 · Part of Binnenstad, Tilburg
Everything close by, little space
Almost two thirds of households on the Koningsplein consist of one person, and children barely live there. That is the population of a city centre, and it explains the 3.8 for families better than school distance does.
The crime figures fit that picture. Property crime is over three times above the national middle and accounts for almost half of all registrations, while burglary sits at a fraction of the median. What goes wrong here happens on the street and not indoors — although violence, too, is above the median.
At this building density and with under a fifth of the surroundings green, the 2.6 for quiet & nature is no surprise. The 9.0 for amenities is the counterpart of that very same fact.

Frequently asked questions
Is Koningsplein a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Koningsplein comes out at 60 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Koningsplein 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 Koningsplein?
In Koningsplein the police recorded 109 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (60 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 Koningsplein calculated?
Koningsplein 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 Koningsplein 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.
