Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The share of social assistance in Moesmate en Tichelkuilen is more than eight times the national median. Together with a property value far below the Dutch median, half of households in the lowest income group and few in the highest, that produces a 2.9 for wealth & income, by far the weakest of the five pillars.

Against that stands an 8.0 for families, and that one is genuine: the primary school is within walking distance and four in ten households have children. The safety figure of 5.0 deserves explanation, because the total number of registrations stays below the national median. It is violence and burglary that edge above it, and those two weigh heaviest in this pillar.

Frequently asked questions

Is Moesmate en Tichelkuilen a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Moesmate en Tichelkuilen?

In Moesmate en Tichelkuilen the police recorded 32 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Moesmate en Tichelkuilen calculated?

Moesmate en Tichelkuilen scores 3.8 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 Moesmate en Tichelkuilen 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.
