Population Density
North Central Raleigh, North Carolina, is classified as a Dense Suburban area based on its 2022 population density of 4,529.07 people per square mile. The neighborhood has experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022.
The population increased from 5,094 in 2010 to 5,666 in 2022. This growth was not consistent. A significant population increase occurred between 2012 and 2013, reaching 6,129 residents in 2013. Subsequently, a gradual decline occurred until 2018, followed by stabilization and slight growth.
Population density trends reflect these changes. Density peaked at 4,899.17 people per square mile in 2013 before decreasing to 4,529.07 in 2022. This density suggests a mix of housing types, including single-family homes, townhouses, and possibly low-rise apartments or condominiums.
The neighborhood likely features a combination of suburban amenities and urban conveniences. Residents may have access to public transportation, schools, and healthcare facilities. The area may contain local businesses, community centers, and parks.
The proximity to North Carolina State University potentially influences the demographic composition. This may attract students, faculty, and university-associated professionals, potentially contributing to observed population fluctuations.
Recent years show relatively stable population, suggesting neighborhood maturity. A slight population increase from 2021 to 2022 may indicate renewed interest, possibly due to urban development projects or local job market changes.
North Central Raleigh demonstrates characteristics of a dynamic, dense suburban neighborhood with significant demographic shifts over the past decade. Current population density and recent stability suggest an established community that continues to attract residents, potentially due to its combination of suburban living and urban amenities, and its proximity to major educational institutions.
