Atmosphere and social composition
The neighbourhood has undergone a change in composition in recent years. Resident J. Luijk writes on the Loovelt neighbourhood page: "Everything at hand and close to the centre of Oss", but adds that due to national and municipal regulations, more immigrants have come to live in the district, which according to him has led to language barriers and cultural adaptation issues.

At the same time, the community score is a 7, suggesting that social cohesion is indeed present. Loovelt is not a problem neighbourhood, but a neighbourhood in transition.

The neighbourhood is part of Ussen and is reasonably well provided with greenery, has a shopping centre with limited offerings. Due to national/municipal regulations, many immigrants have moved into the neighbourhood in recent years. Besides language problems, they are also not familiar with the habits of the average Dutch person. Among themselves, they still speak their own language and the children are not taught Dutch either. A great loss for themselves and a nuisance for the surroundings. Upon entering our country, it would also be good to inform them about some general customs/practices in addition to the language. Such as how to put out rubbish, maintain gardens, etc. (they don't read the relevant app)
