The Dichterswijk neighbourhood

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 same resident adds that schools have been renovated for the little children. Based on this single review, the picture is one of visible improvement alongside lingering social issues. The neighbourhood is home to around 5,760 people, with a high share of single-person households at 47 percent.
