The Pocket neighborhood in Sacramento, California, experienced a population increase from 27,778 to 29,256 between 2010 and 2022, representing a 5.3% growth over 12 years.
In 2022, the population density was 6,631.02 people per square mile, categorizing Pocket as a Light Urban Neighborhood. This density suggests a mix of housing types, including low to mid-rise apartments and potentially townhomes.
The neighborhood experienced year-to-year population fluctuations. A notable decrease occurred in 2011 to 27,200 residents, followed by an increase in 2012. After reaching 28,883 residents in 2019, there was a slight decline in 2020, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the population has since recovered and continued to grow.
The estimated 11,209 housing units in 2022, combined with the national average household size of 2.61 persons, indicates a mix of family households and possibly single-occupant dwellings in Pocket.
Pocket's location along the Sacramento River potentially influences its appeal, offering recreational opportunities and scenic views.
The consistent population increase, despite minor fluctuations, suggests that Pocket remains an attractive area for residents. The light urban density indicates a balance between urban conveniences and a more spacious living environment compared to denser city centers.
