Living in Philipsdorp, Eindhoven
Philipsdorp owes its name to the Philips factories that had workers' homes built in this part of Strijp at the beginning of the twentieth century. Many of those characteristic 1920s and 1930s terraced houses still stand, with their recognisable red brick facades, front gardens and narrow streets. Over the years, apartments and newer complexes have been added, but the historic village atmosphere is palpable everywhere. It is a neighbourhood with a clear identity: compact, lively and with a mix of old and new.
The population is young: the largest group (1,535 of the 3,305 residents) is between 25 and 45 years old. Single-person households dominate with 1,230 households, and only 19% are married. This gives the neighbourhood a dynamic, urban character. More than half of the residents are highly educated (53%), which is reflected in the coffee bars, creative businesses and the crowd on the terraces.
