Everything close by, little to spend

Property value in Muntendam-oost stands at little more than half the national median, and together with a social assistance rate almost five times the national one and a narrow high-income bracket that produces a 2.9 for wealth & income — among the thousand lowest in the country.

The 4.1 for safety asks for a second look. The crime total is only slightly above the national median and theft well below it, but violence, burglary and criminal damage are all three above it, and those three together carry seventy per cent of the pillar. It is not the volume that makes the figure, but the type of reported offence.

Against that stands an 8.1 for quiet & nature, which fits a low population density and a noise level a good four decibels below the national middle. The share of green space lands exactly on the median — so here it is the quiet and the space, not the greenery, carrying the figure.

Frequently asked questions

Is Muntendam-oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Muntendam-oost comes out at 27 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 Muntendam-oost?

In Muntendam-oost the police recorded 69 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (27 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 Muntendam-oost calculated?

Muntendam-oost scores 4.8 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 Muntendam-oost 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.
