Population Density
The Bennett neighborhood in Fargo, North Dakota, experienced significant population changes from 2010 to 2022. Between 2010 and 2019, the population increased from 3,089 to 7,352 residents. The population density rose from 3,475 to 8,271 people per square mile during this period.
In 2020, a sharp decline occurred, with the population dropping to 3,188. This downward trend continued into 2021, reaching 2,983 residents. By 2022, a slight recovery was observed, with the population reaching 3,275 and a density of 3,684 people per square mile.
These demographic shifts indicate a transition from a densely populated urban area to a more suburban environment. The current population density suggests a neighborhood with a mix of housing types, potentially including single-family homes, townhouses, and low-rise apartments. This density typically supports developed infrastructure with access to schools, healthcare facilities, and local amenities.
The rapid growth from 2010 to 2019 may have been caused by economic development, increased job opportunities, or urban expansion in Fargo. The subsequent decline could be attributed to changes in local industry, shifts in housing policies, or external events affecting population movement.
Fargo's location in North Dakota suggests that the Bennett neighborhood experiences harsh winters, which may influence lifestyle and infrastructure needs. The area likely has systems in place for snow removal and winter-appropriate recreational facilities.
The current population level indicates a community balancing suburban comfort with urban amenity access. Residents likely have access to local parks, community centers, and shopping areas while remaining connected to the broader Fargo metropolitan area. The neighborhood probably supports community interaction, outdoor activities, and a balance between residential quiet and city conveniences.
The reasons behind the dramatic population changes are not explicitly stated in the data and would require further investigation to understand the socio-economic factors influencing the neighborhood's recent history.
