Løvstakksiden
Demographics
Demographics
------------

The population of the neighbourhood was claimed to be about 3,435 in 2000,Mekonnen, 2003, p. 65\. although this figure depends on how the neighbourhood is defined. Løvstakksiden is an unofficial area, and is often considered to extend somewhat further south than in this example. In the Municipality Living Standards Report of 2008 the areas named "Solheim nord" and "Solheim sør" (identified as roughly corresponding to Løvstakksiden) had a combined population of 7965 (5422 and 2543 respectively).

It is also the neighbourhood in Bergen which has the largest immigrant population. In 2000 one third of all arriving [refugees](/wiki/Refugee "Refugee") to Bergen were placed in the neighbourhood.


Are there any plans to redevelop or change the boundaries of Løvstakksiden?
