The Little Woods neighborhood in New Orleans, Louisiana, experienced significant demographic changes from 2010 to 2022. The population increased from 22,473 to 39,483 residents. The growth was particularly rapid between 2010 and 2015, with a 60% increase during that period.
Population density rose from 3,398.65 people per square mile in 2010 to 5,971.12 people per square mile in 2022. This density categorizes Little Woods as a dense suburban neighborhood.
The consistent year-over-year population increases indicate a sustained growth trend. This growth may be attributed to improved infrastructure, new housing developments, or economic opportunities in the area.
Little Woods' location within New Orleans, a city known for its resilience to natural disasters, is noteworthy. The neighborhood's growth post-2010 may partially result from rebuilding efforts following Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The increased density likely corresponds with changes in the neighborhood's character. Residents can expect a moderately robust public transportation system, essential community services, and local amenities supporting a suburban lifestyle.
An estimated 15,128 housing units existed in 2022, based on the national average household size. The neighborhood appears to have a mix of single-family homes and multi-unit dwellings.
The population growth rate has shown signs of slowing in recent years. The increase from 2019 to 2022 was less dramatic than in earlier years, suggesting the neighborhood may be approaching a more stable population level.
Little Woods has transformed over the past decade from a less densely populated area to a dense suburban neighborhood. This evolution brings both opportunities and challenges as the community adapts to its increased population and changing demographic profile.
