Dichterswijk: a neighbourhood in transition
Dichterswijk has a mixed reputation. One resident, TopBoy28, says: "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. Apart from that, there are many racists living here. The neighbourhood has been nicely renovated and looks better than before." The area is very urban, with a high density of addresses. Most households are single people, and the population is young, with many residents between 25 and 45. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Dichterswijk.
