Population Density
The Muskego Way neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, experienced population changes from 2010 to 2022. The population decreased from 12,082 in 2010 to 10,565 in 2022, a decline of 12.6%.
In 2022, the population density was 19,654.21 people per square mile. This high density indicates an urban environment with compact living arrangements.
The data reveals fluctuations in population over the studied period. A significant decrease occurred between 2010 and 2011, followed by a recovery and peak in 2013 with 12,199 residents. Subsequently, a general downward trend was observed, reaching the lowest point in 2020 with 10,392 residents. A slight increase in population occurred from 2020 to 2022.
The high population density suggests residents experience close proximity to neighbors, access to public transportation, and local amenities within walking distance. The urban setting implies a mixture of residential and commercial spaces.
Muskego Way has a history influenced by immigration, with a significant Hispanic population. This contributes to a diverse community with cultural offerings such as local markets, restaurants, and community events.
The gradual population decline may be attributed to changing demographics, housing market shifts, or broader economic trends affecting Milwaukee. The recent slight increase from 2020 to 2022 could indicate renewed interest in urban living or community development initiatives.
Despite population changes, the consistently high density suggests Muskego Way remains an attractive urban area. The neighborhood's evolution reflects the dynamic nature of urban demographics and the challenges and opportunities faced by inner-city communities in adapting to changing socio-economic conditions.
