Columbia-Tusculum, a Cincinnati neighborhood, exhibits fluctuations in population and density over the past decade. This study examines these urban population dynamics.
The neighborhood's population density was 2,142.37 people per square mile in 2022, categorizing it as suburban. This density indicates a residential area with single-family homes and possibly townhouses or low-rise condominiums.
Historical data shows the population peaked in 2017 at 2,176 residents, with a density of 2,632.3 people per square mile. Since then, a downward trend has occurred, with the 2022 population decreasing to 1,771, an 18.6% reduction from the 2017 peak.
Various factors may contribute to this decline, including changing housing preferences, economic shifts, or the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on urban living patterns. The largest year-over-year decrease occurred between 2019 and 2020, with a reduction of 134 residents, coinciding with the pandemic's onset.
Columbia-Tusculum maintains its suburban character despite these fluctuations. The neighborhood had an estimated 679 housing units in 2022, based on the national average household size, likely offering diverse housing options.
The neighborhood is known for its historic architecture, containing some of Cincinnati's oldest homes. Its proximity to downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River may contribute to its residential appeal. The relatively stable population density over time suggests a resilient community despite urban challenges.
In conclusion, Columbia-Tusculum represents a suburban neighborhood undergoing gradual demographic changes. While experiencing recent population decline, its consistent density range indicates a stable suburban environment. The area's historical significance and location may play important roles in maintaining its appeal amidst changing urban dynamics.
