Population Density
Bird Key, a neighborhood in Sarasota, Florida, exhibited population and density fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. The data indicates variability in resident numbers and population concentration over this period.
In 2010, Bird Key's population was 834 with a density of 1,197.34 people per square mile. The population reached its maximum in 2011 at 986 residents, corresponding to the highest density of 1,415.56 people per square mile. Subsequently, the neighborhood experienced a general decline in population.
By 2022, the population was 751 with a density of 1,078.18 people per square mile. This represented an increase from the 2021 low of 647 residents, but remained below the peak levels observed earlier in the decade.
The population density consistently ranged between 1,000-1,400 people per square mile throughout the observed period. This density range suggests Bird Key is a low-density suburban area, likely characterized by single-family homes and possibly some townhouses.
Bird Key's coastal location may contribute to population fluctuations, potentially influenced by factors such as tourism, retiree migration, and second-home ownership.
The estimated 287 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, indicates a relatively small community. This suggests Bird Key might offer a suburban lifestyle with coastal living elements.
Despite some population decline over the years, the neighborhood maintained a relatively stable density. This could indicate consistent appeal of the area, possibly due to its geographical features and lifestyle offerings.
