Safe, but not spacious
Property value in 't Lien zuid sits exactly on the national median, and that explains a 5.8 for wealth & income in a neighbourhood where the income distribution actually looks better than the national one. What drags the pillar down further is the rate of social assistance, more than twice the national level.
The 9.2 for safety is a different matter. Violence is at roughly a quarter of the national median and burglary proportionally lower still. Only vandalism comes out above the median, and that is the lightest-weighted of the four categories.
Quiet & nature stays at 4.1. There is no water, greenery in the surrounding area is just below the national median and the noise level well above it, with a density of more than eight thousand residents to the square kilometre.

For 2025, 't Lien zuid comes out at 20 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 't Lien zuid?

The comparison figure above (20 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 't Lien zuid calculated?
't Lien zuid scores 9.2 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 't Lien zuid lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands.
