Living in Quirijnstokpark, Tilburg
Quirijnstokpark is a compact, quiet residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Tilburg, part of the Quirijnstok district. The name gives it away: the neighbourhood is in the immediate vicinity of Quirijnstokpark, a green area that gives the neighbourhood a somewhat airier character than you might expect from the sober architectural style. The housing stock consists almost exclusively of multi-family homes, likely porch flats and gallery flats from the 1970s and 1980s. They are not monumental buildings, but the homes are generally practical in layout and the rental prices are in the social sector.
The population composition is striking: of the approximately 380 residents, there are relatively many single people (single-person households are the largest category) and the age group 45-65 is the most strongly represented, followed by those aged 65 and over. Only 28% of residents are married. The average income is €20,900 per year, considerably lower than the district average of €34,900 and the Tilburg average of €34,000. Labour participation is relatively low at 46%. All this paints a picture of a neighbourhood with a vulnerable socio-economic profile, where people live who depend on affordable corporation homes.
