Everything for children close by, thinner wallets

The railway station is more than ten kilometres away, and in IJsselveld-West that is almost the whole explanation for the 6.1 on amenities. Supermarket, GP, restaurant and school are all within walking distance; it is the railway that is missing, and it counts for a lot.

On quiet & nature the neighbourhood does better than its building density suggests: a 7.9. Around the homes the share of greenery sits clearly above the national middle, tree canopy too, and noise below it. For a neighbourhood with nearly five thousand residents per square kilometre that combination is unusual.

The offences show a mixed picture. The total sits below the national median and violence far below it, but burglary is three times higher. That pushes safety down to a 7.2, since burglary is the heaviest component of the pillar after violence. Meanwhile more than a quarter of residents are sixty-five or older, which makes the 8.5 for families a figure about accessibility rather than about the population.

Frequently asked questions

Is IJsselveld-West a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, IJsselveld-West comes out at 23 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 IJsselveld-West?

In IJsselveld-West the police recorded 81 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (23 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-West calculated?

IJsselveld-West scores 8.3 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 IJsselveld-West 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.
