Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The social assistance rate in IJsselveld-Oost is almost nine times the Dutch median, and it is not the only signal: almost half of households are in the lowest income group, property value sits far below the national middle and vacancy is double the normal level. That gives a 2.9 for wealth & income which no component contradicts.

Among offences all four types sit above the national middle — violence, burglary, theft and vandalism. No single type causes the 3.7 for safety on its own, which makes the picture broader than in a neighbourhood where only bicycles disappear.

Quiet & nature does better than this density would suggest: greenery in the vicinity sits above the national middle and tree canopy at almost double it, producing a 5.4 despite noise above the median. And the primary school seven hundred metres away carries the 8.2 for families, in a neighbourhood where four in ten households have children.

Frequently asked questions

Is IJsselveld-Oost a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, IJsselveld-Oost comes out at 31 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. One caveat: the figure counts per person present, not per resident. In a neighbourhood with many visitors — a centre, a station, a shopping area — it therefore comes out higher than residents experience. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.

How much crime is there in IJsselveld-Oost?

In IJsselveld-Oost the police recorded 108 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (31 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 IJsselveld-Oost calculated?

IJsselveld-Oost scores 3.8 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 IJsselveld-Oost 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.
