Safe, but everything is a drive away
In Montfoort the social assistance density lies roughly at the national level — unusual for a place of this size — and together with a property value above the national middle and a slightly broader top income group that yields a 6.4 for wealth. The bottom income group barely deviates from the national picture.
The 8.0 for safety has a sharp core: theft is registered about a third as often here as nationally. Violence and vandalism lie slightly above it, so that the figure does not come out even higher. What lags behind are the amenities, at a 5.8. Supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within walking distance, but the railway station is over eight kilometres away, and that is a sixth of that pillar. Without a car that is the difference between self-reliant and dependent.

Frequently asked questions
Is Montfoort a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Montfoort comes out at 15 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Montfoort 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 Montfoort?
In Montfoort the police recorded 110 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (15 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 Montfoort calculated?
Montfoort scores 7.7 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 Montfoort 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.
