Everything close by, little to spend
Almost six tenths of Monnikenhuizen lies within three hundred metres of greenery, and the tree canopy covers more than twice the national share. Together with a noise level below the median that yields a 6.9 for quiet & nature, in a neighbourhood that is clearly urban in its density.
The families score of 5.7 is its counterpart. The primary school is more than a kilometre away, and school distance is by far the heaviest component of that pillar; where childcare and secondary education sit weighs on top of that.
The wealth & income pillar tells no single story. The top income group is somewhat wider here than nationally and property value not far below the median, but the social assistance rate is almost six times the national one. That single component pulls the pillar down.

Frequently asked questions
Is Monnikenhuizen a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Monnikenhuizen comes out at 23 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 Monnikenhuizen?
In Monnikenhuizen the police recorded 61 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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 Monnikenhuizen calculated?
Monnikenhuizen scores 6.5 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 Monnikenhuizen 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.
