Safe, but everything is a drive away
Almost half of the households in De Munten have children, and yet the families pillar stops at a 6.4. The explanation is distance: the primary school is more than a kilometre away, and school distance together with childcare and secondary education makes up by far the largest part of that figure. Many children, but no school around the corner.
Safety comes out at a 9.4 and that runs across the board: violence, burglary, theft and vandalism are all four below the national median, with less than half the national number of reported offences in total.
Wealth & income lands on a 7.1 with property values exactly on the national median. What lifts the figure are the other components: little social assistance, little vacancy and more households on a high income than nationally.

Frequently asked questions
Is De Munten a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, De Munten comes out at 11 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: De Munten is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in De Munten?
In De Munten the police recorded 48 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (11 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 De Munten calculated?
De Munten scores 8.9 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 De Munten 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.
