Safe streets, thinner wallets

Tolkamer sits on the water — nearly eight per cent of its surface — and it is that component which lifts the quiet & nature pillar to a 6.0, because greenery and tree canopy in the surroundings both stay below the national middle. A neighbourhood can therefore score as quiet without being green, and this is one.

The 9.2 for safety rests on four offence types all staying below the national median; burglary comes out at a fraction of it. Set against that is accessibility: the GP is over one and a half kilometres away and the railway station ten, which keeps the amenities pillar at a 5.3. Within wealth & income, a 4.1, property value is the heaviest lagging component, with social assistance at nearly twice the median beside it; vacancy sits exactly on it. Well over a quarter of residents are 65 or older, which explains the families score of 5.1 while the school stands within a kilometre.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tolkamer a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Tolkamer comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Tolkamer is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in Tolkamer?

In Tolkamer the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Tolkamer calculated?

Tolkamer scores 5.6 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 Tolkamer 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.
