Theresia Oost
1,305 residents · postal code 5041 · Part of Theresia, Tilburg
Everything close by, little space
Fifteen per cent of the surroundings of Theresia Oost is green. That is the weakest component of a quiet & nature pillar coming out at 2.6, together with a tree canopy far below the national share and a noise level above it.
Against that stands a 9.8 for amenities, which is close to the maximum. The supermarket, GP, restaurant, primary school and station are all within two kilometres, most within half of that.
The safety figure has no bright spot at all: violence, burglary, property crime and vandalism are all four above the national middle. On wealth & income, too, no component points the favourable way — property value is far below the median, the social assistance rate far above it, and even vacancy is higher than national.

Frequently asked questions
Is Theresia Oost a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Theresia Oost comes out at 45 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Theresia Oost 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 Theresia Oost?
In Theresia Oost the police recorded 87 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (45 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 Theresia Oost calculated?
Theresia Oost 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 Theresia Oost 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.
