This study examines the demographic characteristics of the North Campus neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio, focusing on population trends and density from 2011 to 2022.
The North Campus neighborhood has experienced population fluctuations over the past decade. The population ranged from a minimum of 2,181 in 2013 to a maximum of 2,543 in 2011. As of 2022, the population was 2,439, which is slightly above the median for the period studied. This indicates a relatively stable population with minor annual variations.
A notable characteristic of North Campus is its high population density. In 2022, the density was 14,307.68 people per square mile. This high density is typical of highly urbanized areas, often found near educational institutions or city centers. The neighborhood's name suggests proximity to a university campus.
The high density and name of the neighborhood suggest that North Campus likely consists predominantly of student housing. This may include a combination of dormitories, apartment complexes, and converted residences. The fluctuations in population could be attributed to changes in student enrollment and housing policies.
The lifestyle in this dense, campus-adjacent neighborhood is typically active and youth-oriented. Residents likely have convenient access to educational facilities, libraries, and campus amenities. The area probably features numerous cafes, bookstores, and small businesses catering to student needs.
Public transportation in this area is likely well-developed, given the high density and probable student population. Campus neighborhoods often prioritize walkability and bike-friendliness, promoting a sustainable and active urban lifestyle.
The estimated number of housing units (934) relative to the population indicates a higher occupancy rate per unit compared to the national average household size of 2.61. This suggests a prevalence of shared living arrangements, which is common in student-dominated areas.
In conclusion, North Campus appears to be a densely populated urban neighborhood, characterized by a significant student presence, high mobility, and infrastructure supporting an education-centered lifestyle. The relative population stability in recent years suggests the area maintains its appeal and function within the broader Columbus urban ecosystem.
