The population of Mangrove Bayou exhibited fluctuations over the studied period. In 2010, the population was 387. A decrease to 347 occurred in 2011.

This figure suggests a dense suburban environment. The density indicates a neighborhood likely composed of various housing types, including single-family homes, townhouses, and possibly low-rise apartments.
The neighborhood's name, "Mangrove Bayou," suggests proximity to water. This location may offer residents water views or access to coastal amenities. The area's relatively high density could be partially attributed to this factor, as waterfront properties often have higher development intensity.
Multiple factors may have contributed to the population fluctuations observed. These could include changes in local economic conditions, housing market trends, or shifts in the neighborhood's appeal to different demographic groups. The population decline since 2018 may indicate challenges in resident retention or changes in housing preferences.
Despite recent population decreases, the neighborhood maintains a relatively stable density. This suggests that it remains an attractive location for individuals seeking a balance between urban amenities and suburban lifestyle. The consistent density also implies well-established infrastructure and services to support the resident population.
In summary, Mangrove Bayou is characterized as a dense suburban neighborhood with potential coastal influences. While experiencing population fluctuations, particularly a recent decline, it maintains characteristics that likely appeal to those seeking a combination of suburban living and urban conveniences. Further research into local economic factors, housing market trends, and community amenities would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the forces shaping this neighborhood's demographic patterns.
