Population Density
The Capitol Hill Area of Nashville-Davidson experienced significant population changes from 2010 to 2022. In 2010, the population was 2,859 with a density of 38,279 people per square mile. By 2022, the population decreased to 1,872 with a density of 25,064 people per square mile.
The neighborhood maintained a high-density urban character throughout this period. The consistently high population density suggests a prevalence of high-rise residential buildings and compact living spaces, typical of areas near government centers in capital cities.
The most significant population decline occurred between 2020 and 2021, with a decrease from 1,974 to 1,627 residents. This reduction could be attributed to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on urban living preferences or changes in government employment patterns.
Despite the overall downward trend, there were periods of growth. Between 2017 and 2019, the population increased from 2,153 to 2,456. This fluctuation indicates that the area remains desirable but may be sensitive to external factors affecting urban living choices.
The Capitol Hill Area's estimated 717 housing units in 2022 likely consist of apartments and condominiums in multi-story buildings. The neighborhood presumably offers extensive amenities within walking distance, including government offices, restaurants, cultural venues, and public transit options.
The area has maintained a very high population density despite the population decrease. This suggests that the Capitol Hill Area continues to play a significant role in Nashville's urban landscape, likely due to its strategic location and proximity to the state government.
