Berg has a population of about 150, more than 90% of which are males, and 63% of which are between 15 and 25 years old.[5] Most of these are adolescents in a youth detention center in Huize St. Joseph. The building was originally an orphanage.[6]

Berg should not be confused with the village of the same name 3 km to the northeast.

Berg has no place name signs. There is a war memorial for eleven members of the Belgian resistance and an unidentified Russian. They were held captive in Sint Joseph. On 12 September 1944, the American army neared the village and the 12 men were executed.[6]
