The Dutch Village Where Everyone Has Dementia
It's just a name, you're reading too much into it. Katwijk also ends with "wijk" and is home to 60k people.

No "wijk" is the dutch word for a neighborhood of a few streets. Or a small block if you prefer. It just so happens a few towns used that suffix, a nimble expression.
