Population Density
The Meyerland Area of Houston, Texas, exhibits specific demographic characteristics from 2010 to 2022. The population density in 2022 was 5,221.84 people per square mile, categorizing it as a Dense Suburban area. This classification indicates a variety of housing types and developed infrastructure.
Population trends show fluctuations over the studied period. The area experienced growth from 2010 to 2016, reaching a peak of 24,865 residents. From 2017 onwards, a gradual decline occurred, with the population decreasing to 22,303 by 2022. This represents a 10.3% decrease from the 2016 peak.
Multiple factors may contribute to these population changes. The Meyerland Area's susceptibility to flooding, particularly during major weather events such as Hurricane Harvey in 2017, may have influenced residential patterns.
Despite the population decrease, the area maintains a high population density, suggesting it remains a desirable residential location. The estimated 8,545 housing units in 2022 indicate a diverse housing stock.
The lifestyle in Meyerland likely reflects its Dense Suburban classification. Residents presumably have access to various amenities, including local shopping centers, parks, and community facilities. The area's proximity to central Houston likely provides additional urban conveniences while maintaining a residential atmosphere.
The relatively stable population density, despite overall population decrease, suggests the neighborhood's character and appeal have been largely maintained. This stability in the face of environmental challenges and population shifts indicates the enduring attractiveness of the Meyerland Area as a residential community within Houston's urban landscape.
