One resident says: "Don't think the neighbourhood is clean and too many immigrants together in one area and police regularly appear, that's not for nothing." Another, who has lived here over 35 years, notes: "It was always a peculiar neighbourhood in many respects. But there was still something like a sense of community. But now that everyone is more to themselves and has less (good) contact with neighbours, my feeling of safety has noticeably decreased." A third review describes visible deterioration: "In the past the neighbourhood was cleaner and people maintained the front gardens and pavements better, also the children just throw everything on the street." The neighbourhood Graafsebuurt zuid has a young population, with many 25-45 year olds and a high proportion of single-person households.
