Rosengård was located centrally in Malmö, neighbouring the former city district Centrum. Long a destination for immigrants, 86% of the population had some foreign ancestry in 2008. Since 2015, it has been categorized by the Swedish Police Authority as a "particularly vulnerable area" (särskilt utsatta områden) due to pervasive violence and criminal activity.
