Ysselsteyn
2,335 residents · postal code 5813 · Part of Ysselsteyn, Venray
Spacious and quiet, but not set up for children
Seventy inhabitants per square kilometre, and a noise level almost ten decibels below the Dutch median: that is where the 8.6 for quiet & nature in Ysselsteyn comes from. Not from greenery, because the share of green within three hundred metres actually sits below the national middle. Space and silence carry this figure; the tree canopy barely does.
The 4.3 for families is its mirror image. The primary school is more than a kilometre away, and school distance, together with childcare and secondary education, makes up nearly two thirds of that pillar. In a neighbourhood spread this thinly, that is not a detail but the heart of the figure.
Worth noting too: theft here runs above the national middle while violence stays below it. With over two thousand residents, that difference is not noise.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ysselsteyn a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Ysselsteyn comes out at 25 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 Ysselsteyn?
In Ysselsteyn the police recorded 91 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (25 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 Ysselsteyn calculated?
Ysselsteyn scores 5.1 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 Ysselsteyn 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.
