Living in Hoornwerk, Deventer
Hoornwerk is a compact neighbourhood on the southwest side of Deventer, sandwiched between the industrial zones of Bergweide and the more residential Rivierenbuurt. The name refers to the historic fortifications that once marked this spot, and even now the neighbourhood has something of a transition zone: not purely a residential area, not purely a business park, but a mix that gives the neighbourhood its own character. The housing stock consists mainly of compact apartments, partly from the post-war construction period, partly from more recent additions for the private rental sector. Large single-family homes are the exception in Hoornwerk.
The population of Hoornwerk numbers approximately 670 residents, with a clear predominance of the 25 to 45 age group (over 255 people).

The education level is relatively high: 43% have higher education, and the labour participation rate is 75%. The average income of €43,100 is well above both the district average (€29,800) and the municipal average (€35,200), indicating an active, working population.
