Paradijssel
895 residents · postal code 2904 · Part of Oostgaarde Zuid, Capelle aan den IJssel
Well-off, and well out of town
A 10.0 for wealth & income, and unlike in many neighbourhoods with such a score it holds on every component: the property value is well above the national median, the highest income group is more than double the national share, the lowest thinner, and social assistance and vacancy barely occur.
What defines the map of Paradijssel is water. More than four tenths of the neighbourhood's surface consists of it, against half a per cent nationally, and that lifts the quiet & nature pillar despite a location in the middle of Capelle aan den IJssel. The noise level, too, stays below the national median.
The bill sits in the two other scores. The primary school is almost two kilometres away and the supermarket a little further; that is where the 5.7 for families and the 5.0 for amenities come from. Nobody living here does the daily shopping on foot.

Frequently asked questions
Is Paradijssel a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Paradijssel comes out at 12 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Paradijssel 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 Paradijssel?
In Paradijssel the police recorded 7 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (12 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 Paradijssel calculated?
Paradijssel scores 9.6 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 Paradijssel 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.
