Top 3% in the Netherlands

Safe, but not spacious

All four measured categories of offence stay below the national middle in the Lingebuurt, and three of them well below: violence at less than a third, vandalism at a sixth. Such a uniformly low picture is why safety here comes out at 9.8 and not somewhere in the eights.

The wealth & income pillar contains no contradiction either. High property value, a broad top income group, a narrow bottom one, little social assistance and virtually no vacancy: all five components point the same way.

The whole neighbourhood was built after 2000 and nearly six in ten households have children. Set against that is the 4.9 for quiet & nature, and it does not come from noise, which sits around the national middle. The tree canopy here is thin, at roughly a third of what is usual in the Netherlands.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lingebuurt a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Lingebuurt?

In Lingebuurt the police recorded 18 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (10 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 Lingebuurt calculated?

Lingebuurt scores 9.8 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 Lingebuurt 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.
