Everything for children close by, and little room
Of the four itemised offence types in the Tussenbeeksbuurt, one is above the national median: vandalism, at almost double. Violence, burglary and property crime all stay below it, and so does the total. The 6.5 for safety is therefore mainly a figure about damaged property in public space.
The wealth & income pillar deserves nuance: the share of low incomes is below the national level and so is vacancy, but property value lags and social assistance is well above — a 5.3 on balance. Where the neighbourhood genuinely falls short is quiet & nature, at a 3.3: this is densely built, with little greenery and no open water. The school six hundred metres away and the high share of households with children lift the families pillar to a 9.2.

Frequently asked questions
Is Tussenbeeksbuurt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Tussenbeeksbuurt comes out at 22 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Tussenbeeksbuurt?
In Tussenbeeksbuurt the police recorded 52 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 Tussenbeeksbuurt calculated?
Tussenbeeksbuurt scores 7.5 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 Tussenbeeksbuurt 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.
