The Dichterswijk neighbourhood
Dichterswijk has a mixed reputation, as one resident puts it: "This neighbourhood used to be a deprived area with many problems. Now a lot of new buildings have been built. But behind the walls of the houses, there are still problems." The same resident adds that "there are many racists living here," though they also note the area "has been nicely renovated and looks better than before." This is based on a single review, so it is one perspective rather than a consensus. The neighbourhood is home to around 5,760 people, with a high share of single-person households.
