Mjølnerparken
Mjølnerparken is a housing project located between Nørrebro and Bispebjerg S-train station in Nørrebro, Copenhagen. Approximately 2,500 people live in the area; 98% are either immigrant or born to immigrants, who represent 38 different nationalities, mostly Middle-Eastern and African. The majority of the inhabitants are under 18 years old, and the area is known because of press reports on its crime rates.
In 2017, 82.1% of inhabitants were of non-Western origin, 43.5% were neither employed nor in education, 2.52% had been convicted for crime, 53% had only primary education or less and the average gross income was 51% of that for the regional average. These statistics meant that the district fulfilled enough criteria to be classified as a ghetto by Danish authorities.[1][2]
