Living in Stokhasselt Oost, Tilburg

Stokhasselt Oost is a post-war residential neighbourhood in the north of Tilburg, built in the 1960s and 1970s. The housing stock consists mainly of porch flats, gallery flats and terraced family homes from that period, recognisable by their sober brick architecture and spacious green strips between buildings. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its special architecture or vibrancy, but that is not why people come to live here. The peace, low rents and availability of family homes are its main assets.

With 1,675 residents, it is a relatively small neighbourhood. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but families with children are also well represented: households with children form the largest household group. The average income of €20,900 per year is noticeably below the Tilburg average of €34,000, and the labour participation rate of 48% is low. This gives the neighbourhood a social character that is both a strength and a point of attention.
