The Shady Oaks neighborhood in San Antonio, Texas, experienced a population decline from 2010 to 2022. The population decreased from 5,904 residents to 5,139, representing a 13% reduction over 12 years.
The population density decreased from 5,062.32 people per square mile in 2010 to 4,406.38 people per square mile in 2022. This density suggests Shady Oaks is a densely populated suburban area.
Despite the overall downward trend, the neighborhood experienced growth between 2014 and 2016, reaching a peak of 5,972 residents in 2016. However, this growth was not sustained, and the population has been declining since then.
The current population density indicates that Shady Oaks likely offers a suburban lifestyle with urban conveniences. The area is likely to have a mix of residential and commercial spaces.
Given the estimated 1,969 housing units for the 2022 population, and considering the national average household size of 2.61 persons, Shady Oaks may have a slightly lower average household size than the national average.
The consistent decline in population over recent years might indicate changing neighborhood dynamics. Factors such as aging population, shifts in housing preferences, or economic factors affecting the broader San Antonio area could be contributing to this trend.
