The Oud-Overdie neighbourhood
Based on three reviews, residents describe Oud-Overdie as a challenging area.

A lot of rubbish is dumped on the streets, you don't see much police in the area. A lot of violence on the streets by fatbike youths." Another adds: "Too many immigrants are moving in, causing a lot of problems. A lot of nuisance from loitering youths and fireworks. It used to be a nice working-class neighbourhood, unfortunately not anymore." The neighbourhood has a high address density and a mix of households, with many singles and families.
