Transwijk-Zuid: a dense, urban neighbourhood
Transwijk-Zuid is a densely populated area with a very strong urban feel (address density of 3,711 per km²). The population is young, with a large share of 25-to-45-year-olds, and most households are single-person. Only 11% of homes are owner-occupied, and the vast majority are apartments. One resident describes the area as experiencing 'impoverishment', noting that 'the houses are going to the immigrant community and status holders AZC. Neighbourhood is getting dirtier, stinks, neighbourhood no longer has neighbour contacts, everyone just does their own thing.' This is based on a single review. For more context, see the Transwijk-Zuid neighbourhood.
