Everything close by, safety lags

The number of registered offences in Oud IJsselmonde is a good double what is usual nationally, and unlike in many neighbourhoods it is easy to point out where that sits: theft alone occurs there almost three times as often, and violence too is considerably above it. Burglary on the other hand lies exactly on the national median. So the 3.0 for safety rests on theft and violence together, not on what happens inside homes.

More striking for an urban neighbourhood is the distance. Supermarket and GP are further away here than in most, and those two weigh heaviest in the amenities pillar; that is where the 5.9 comes from. Greenery too is scarce: not even a third of the surroundings counts as green, against a good half in the average Dutch neighbourhood. With a noise level well above the middle that yields a 4.4 for quiet & nature.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oud IJsselmonde a safe neighbourhood?

For 2025, Oud IJsselmonde comes out at 58 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is high: Oud IJsselmonde is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the most recorded crimes. 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 Oud IJsselmonde?

In Oud IJsselmonde the police recorded 581 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (58 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 Oud IJsselmonde calculated?

Oud IJsselmonde scores 3.2 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 Oud IJsselmonde 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.
