Safe, but few children

The primary school in Linne is seven hundred metres away, so the 4.8 for families is not down to distance. It is down to who lives here: a good quarter of residents are 65 or older and the share of children under fifteen stays below the national median. This is a neighbourhood where the facilities for families are ready and waiting while the families themselves are thinner on the ground.

One category stands out among the offences. Violence, burglary and theft all sit at or below the national median here, but vandalism occurs a good twice as often. Because vandalism is the lightest component of the safety pillar, Linne still keeps a 7.7 — it is the kind of nuisance you see on the street without it carrying through to the figure.

The wealth & income pillar stays at a 5.1 because of property values, which are clearly below the Dutch median. The income distribution barely differs from the national picture; social assistance sits a little above it.

Frequently asked questions

Is Linne a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Linne comes out at 19 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 Linne?

In Linne the police recorded 94 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (19 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 Linne calculated?

Linne scores 6.2 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 Linne 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.
