Safe streets, thinner wallets
Burglary is all but absent in Lienden: the figure comes nowhere near the national median, and violence, property crime and vandalism also stay below it. All four below the middle, and that carries the 9.4 for safety.
The wealth & income pillar tells a different story from the one the houses suggest. The property value sits just below the national middle — no bad figure for a village — but the income distribution points the other way: the highest group is thinner than nationally, the lowest broader, and the rate of social assistance is close to double the median. Vacancy sits exactly on it. That makes the 4.9 a matter of income rather than of bricks.
Greenery around the built-up area is well above the national middle and the noise level clearly below it. The railway station stands against that: more than five kilometres, and that is the price of this location.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lienden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Lienden comes out at 17 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Lienden?
In Lienden the police recorded 78 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (17 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 Lienden calculated?
Lienden scores 8.7 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 Lienden 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.
