Malburgen: One of Arnhem’s Poorest Neighborhoods, Where 7% of Households Have Low Income – CBS Figures Show

Malburgen is one of the poorest neighborhoods in Arnhem. About 7 percent of households here have a low income, it shows CBS figures from last Friday. Residents can go to the form consultation hours with questions about benefits. “I never actually have the heating on,” says a woman who says she cannot afford the energy costs. “In the evening I have a blanket over me and the cat on my lap to keep it warm.” On the other side of the table, another woman, with a cup of coffee in front of her, says she is looking forward to the new year with some concern. “Let’s hope it all goes well. The groceries are already expensive enough and we have already gotten rid of the car.”
