Everything for children close by, and little room
The railway station is almost twelve kilometres from Het Hart, and still the amenities pillar reaches a 7.6. That is because supermarket, GP and primary school are all four hundred metres away; the four nearby destinations together weigh more than the station alone.
The families pillar benefits from that same short school distance and comes out at 8.7, with a third of households having children.
The wealth & income pillar is divided and therefore stays at 5.5. The share of low incomes lands exactly on the national median, the share of high incomes barely exceeds it, vacancy stays below the middle — but the property value sits below it and the social assistance rate almost twice above. The 4.1 for quiet & nature fits one of the most densely populated spots in IJsselstein: the green share within three hundred metres stays well under the national middle.

Frequently asked questions
Is Het Hart a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Het Hart comes out at 18 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is fewer than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Het Hart?
In Het Hart the police recorded 41 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (18 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 Het Hart calculated?
Het Hart scores 6.9 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 Het Hart 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.
