The buildings largely consist of post-war porch flats and gallery flats from the 1950s and 1960s, supplemented by some terraced houses.

This makes Joriskwartier a neighbourhood of young singles and couples, with a highly educated population: 54% have completed higher education. The average income is €37,300, slightly below the Eindhoven average of €38,200 and clearly below the district average for Oud-Stratum (€43,400).
