In 2020, there was a slight population increase of about 140 residents from the previous year. This could be due to changes in housing policies, economic improvements, or shifts in residential preferences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2022 population density of 2,908.97 people per square mile indicates West Wood maintains suburban characteristics, though less dense than a decade ago. This density typically supports a mix of housing types.

West Wood's location within Dayton likely provides access to urban amenities with a less congested living environment compared to central urban areas. The population decline may have affected local businesses and community services.

The population has stabilized in recent years, with minor fluctuations between 2020 and 2022. This could indicate West Wood is reaching a new demographic equilibrium.

An estimated 1,620 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, suggests a substantial residential base. This figure may not account for potential vacant properties resulting from population decline.

West Wood has transitioned from a denser suburban environment to a more moderately populated suburban neighborhood over the past decade. This shift has implications for community dynamics, local economy, and urban planning considerations.
