Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

Monnikenhof centrum is the neighbourhood without outliers: safety, amenities, wealth & income and quiet & nature all four sit close to the national midpoint, and the overall score comes to 6.3.

Only families stands out, at 7.4, and unlike in many neighbourhoods that matches who actually lives here. Four in ten households have children, the share of young people is above the national midpoint, and the primary school is around the corner.

What you do not find here is a railway station. The nearest is more than ten kilometres away, and it is the only part of the amenities pillar that really works against the neighbourhood; shop, doctor and restaurant are all within a kilometre. Anyone commuting depends on a car. Wealth & income remains the weakest pillar, and that is purely the price of the housing: social assistance, vacancy and the income breakdown are at or below the national midpoint.

Frequently asked questions

Is Monnikenhof centrum a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Monnikenhof centrum comes out at 25 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 Monnikenhof centrum?

In Monnikenhof centrum the police recorded 78 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Monnikenhof centrum calculated?

Monnikenhof centrum scores 6.3 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 Monnikenhof centrum 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.
