Population Density
The Virden neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi, experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. The data indicates a general downward trend in population during this period, with occasional increases.
In 2010, Virden's population was 3,993 with a density of 2,509.35 people per square mile. The population reached its peak in 2011 at 4,319 residents, corresponding to the highest density of 2,714.22 people per square mile. Following this peak, the neighborhood experienced a gradual decline in population, reaching a low of 3,241 residents in 2018.
A significant population increase occurred in 2020, with the number of residents rising to 3,722. This increase was temporary, as the population decreased again in 2021 and 2022, reaching 3,410 residents with a density of 2,142.97 people per square mile in 2022.
The population density remained consistently above 2,000 people per square mile throughout the observed period, suggesting that Virden is a relatively dense suburban area. This density implies a mix of single-family homes and potentially some multi-unit dwellings.
Based on the estimated 1,306 housing units in 2022, calculated using the national average household size, Virden maintains a suburban character with a moderate level of development.
Despite the overall population decline since 2010, the neighborhood has maintained a relatively stable population density above 2,000 people per square mile. This suggests that while there have been fluctuations in the number of residents, the overall character of the neighborhood has remained consistent.
The specific reasons for the population fluctuations in Virden would require further investigation into local economic factors, housing market trends, and potential changes in the broader Jackson metropolitan area. These demographic shifts could reflect broader trends in urban-suburban migration patterns or local development initiatives.
