In The Hague there is a big difference in social factors such as income, national origin and living environment.
When we look at the status of the city center district in terms of experience, the city center district has a different status. The surrounding neighborhoods are very separated from each other. Men and women of various nationalities live in those neighborhoods. It is estimated that 54% of the residents in these areas (center) are of Dutch descent. There is a great deal of cultural diversity in these areas.
The Archipelbuurt has 61% of residents who are of Dutch origin, but Transvaal and the Schilderswijk have just under 11 and 10 percent. When we look more specifically at Schilderwijk-Oostwijk, we see that of the 7,500 residents, a significant number of 94% have a migration background. In The Hague, the Schilderswijk is the most child-rich neighborhood, with no fewer than 26% of residents under the age of 15. The least child-rich neighborhood, with a small 8% of residents under the age of 15, is part of the Centrum district, Willemspark. The oldest neighborhood in The Hague is the Archipelbuurt, where approximately +/- 42% of the neighborhood is older than 45 years. Many expats also live in this neighborhood.
Of all residents of The Hague, the neighborhoods of Schilderswijk, Rivierenbuurt-Zuid (together with neighborhoods in Escamp and Laak) and Transvaal have the lowest average income. In contrast, the average income of the Archipelbuurt and Willemspark neighborhoods is far above the average income in The Hague. (These data were acquired in the year 2012)

The city center, where the core shopping area is located, attracts approximately 30 million people annually. In addition to shops, the city center also has cultural venues and entertainment options. There are approximately 40 coffee shops in The Hague, of which at least 20 are located in the center. This results in a busy and well used area.
Some examples of busy moments are King's Day, Budget Day, shopping evenings, Veterans Day, Monument Day, etc.

Just like in all big cities, there is always demolition and construction going on in the neighborhoods. This also applies to The Hague. This also applies to government agencies, such as new construction of the Hague city hall and this provides a major incentive for large construction projects. Consider, for example, constructing tram tunnels where necessary.

With the introduction of the Traffic Circulation Plan, (car/bus) traffic in the center disappeared and traffic has to drive around the center. Public transport was also diverted and a tram tunnel was created. The tram tunnel has significantly increased the distance between stops. Now people from, for example, the Schilderswijk have to cover a greater distance before they reach a transport stop.
