The vast majority of these rental homes are social housing via a housing corporation, namely 58% of the total housing stock. Only 6% is owned by other (private) landlords.

The WOZ value of homes here averages €239,000, which is lower than the district average of Het Zand (€246,000) and well below the Tilburg average of €314,000. This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: a neighbourhood with a lot of corporation-owned property and an average income of €25,800 per household, compared to €27,300 in the district and €34,000 in the municipality as a whole. Renting in Het Zand Noord-West is therefore relatively affordable compared to the Tilburg average, although the private sector supply is limited.
