neighbourhood in De Wolden
Linde
130 residents · postal code 7925 · Part of Linde, De Wolden
Room to spare, amenities further off
Linde has a little over a hundred residents, and that makes most figures here soft. What is hard is the distance: supermarket, GP, school and restaurant are all more than four kilometres away, which produces 2.5 for amenities — close to the lowest the model knows.
Against that stands 8.7 for quiet & nature, carried by more than eighty per cent greenery in the surrounding area and noise below the national median. The crime figure sits almost exactly on the national median, but at this population a single report already makes a sizeable swing; read the number with that caveat. Wealth & income comes out at 5.5: no social assistance and little vacancy, but property values below the national middle too.

Frequently asked questions
Is Linde a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Linde comes out at 24 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is about the same as in an average Dutch neighbourhood. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Linde?
In Linde the police recorded 1 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (24 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 Linde calculated?
Linde scores 4.0 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 Linde 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.
