Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

One in nine residents of Tigrisdreef en omgeving is on social assistance, more than thirteen times the national level. Together with a thin top layer of incomes and a property value below the national median, that explains the 2.8 for wealth & income.

Even so, this is not a neighbourhood without greenery. The tree canopy within three hundred metres is twice as thick as is usual nationally and there is more green than in the average Dutch neighbourhood; the quiet & nature pillar therefore comes out at 6.0, despite high density and noise above the median.

The 9.4 for families comes from the short distance to the primary school and from the large share of households with children. The safety score stands directly opposite: violence is well above the national median, as are theft and vandalism. Only burglary is rare here.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tigrisdreef en omgeving a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Tigrisdreef en omgeving comes out at 37 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Tigrisdreef en omgeving 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 Tigrisdreef en omgeving?

In Tigrisdreef en omgeving the police recorded 217 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (37 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 Tigrisdreef en omgeving calculated?

Tigrisdreef en omgeving scores 5.4 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 Tigrisdreef en omgeving 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.
