Centrum IJsselmuiden
4,595 residents · postal code 8271 · Part of IJsselmuiden, Kampen
Safe, but not spacious
Of the five pillars, safety stands out: a 9.6, and that score rests on figures that are low right across the board. Violence, theft and vandalism all three stay below the national median; only burglary sits exactly on it. For Centrum IJsselmuiden that means little of what shapes the street elsewhere.
Set against that is a 4.5 for wealth & income. Property value lags behind the national median and the top income group is thinner here than usual, while the bottom one is broader. Social assistance and vacancy are at or below the normal level — this is not a neighbourhood with a poverty problem, but one whose middle group hangs low.
The quiet & nature pillar stops at 4.1. It is quieter here than average and density is modest for a centre neighbourhood, but greenery and trees within three hundred metres both stay below the national level. The tree canopy in particular is strikingly thin.

Frequently asked questions
Is Centrum IJsselmuiden a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Centrum IJsselmuiden comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Centrum IJsselmuiden 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 Centrum IJsselmuiden?
In Centrum IJsselmuiden the police recorded 72 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 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 Centrum IJsselmuiden calculated?
Centrum IJsselmuiden scores 8.8 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 Centrum IJsselmuiden 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.
