What these scores mean for Die Laning

Safety: 74/100 · Good
Scores 74 out of 100, which is good and lower than 61% of areas in South Africa. In practice, reported crime is low for its size. What it measures: How safe the area is, from reported crime adjusted for population, with burglary and robbery counting most. How it is worked out: No SAPS station data for this suburb yet — safety is estimated from data-backed suburbs nearby. This is an estimate from wider-area data, not measured for this area itself. Source: Estimated from nearby areas (estimated).
Affordability: 94/100 · Excellent
Scores 94 out of 100, which is excellent and better than 63% of areas in South Africa. In practice, rent takes a reasonable share of local incomes. What it measures: How average rent compares with what households here typically earn. How it is worked out: Average rent as a share of median monthly income. This is based on reasonable data, but not the most recent or most local. Source: Stats SA income & rental index (modelled).

Property Confidence: 82/100 · Good
Scores 82 out of 100, which is good and better than 75% of areas in South Africa. In practice, property data is plentiful and prices look steady.

This is based on strong, recent official data. Source: Stats SA Residential Property Price Index (RPPI 2010-2023).
