Population Density
The Spring Trails neighborhood in Pflugerville, Texas, experienced significant population growth between 2010 and 2022. In 2010, the population was 623 with a density of 4,528.52 people per square mile. By 2022, the population increased to 1,407, with the density rising to 10,227.32 people per square mile.
This increase in population and density indicates a transition from a suburban to a more urban-like environment. The neighborhood likely underwent considerable development in housing and infrastructure to accommodate this growth. A notable population increase occurred between 2017 and 2019, when the population rose from 865 to 1,495.
The current population density of over 10,000 people per square mile is characteristic of a light urban environment. Spring Trails likely features a mix of housing types to support this density. The neighborhood's location in Pflugerville, a growing suburb of Austin, may contribute to its growth.
The population stabilized between 2020 and 2022, potentially indicating a mature stage of development. This stabilization might suggest that available land for new housing has been largely utilized, with future growth expected to be more incremental.
The estimated 539 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, indicates a dense residential layout. This housing density suggests a community with various housing options catering to different demographics.
In conclusion, Spring Trails has transformed over the past decade, evolving into a more densely populated urban-like neighborhood while retaining some suburban characteristics. This transition likely reflects broader trends in the Austin metro area and changing preferences for compact, amenity-rich living environments.
