Safe, but few children

Montfort scores a 9.1 for safety and a 4.8 for families, and those two figures are about the same people. Almost a third of residents are 65 or older and only a little over a tenth are under fifteen. The primary school is less than a kilometre away, so distance is not the cause — the families score here mainly measures that few children live there.

The wealth pillar of 4.9 is only partly a story about poverty. Social assistance comes in below the national median and vacancy sits exactly on it; what drags the pillar down is the property value, together with a low-income group somewhat broader than the national one. What Montfort does offer is in the quiet & nature pillar: more greenery and considerably more tree canopy in the surroundings than average, and a noise level well below the median. Against that stands a railway station nearly seven kilometres away. This is a village where you need the car the moment you want to go further than your own centre.

Frequently asked questions

Is Montfort a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Montfort comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Montfort 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 Montfort?

In Montfort the police recorded 46 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Montfort calculated?

Montfort 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 Montfort 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.
