This study examines the demographic changes in zip code 06824, Murray, Connecticut, from 2010 to 2022. The analysis focuses on population growth and density patterns.
The population in zip code 06824 remained stable between 2010 and 2021, ranging from 27,000 to 29,000 residents. During this period, the population density ranged from 1,340 to 1,480 people per square mile, indicating a suburban environment.
From 2021 to 2022, the population increased from 29,643 to 36,584, a 23% growth. This increase raised the population density to 1,785 people per square mile, suggesting rapid urbanization.
The 2022 data indicates a transition towards an urban-suburban hybrid environment in Murray. This population increase may result in changes to daily life, including increased traffic and demand for local services.
The growth suggests the area is attracting a wider range of demographics. The estimated 14,017 housing units for 2022 represent a significant increase in residential capacity.
In conclusion, while Murray maintained a suburban character for most of the observed period, the recent population surge indicates a shift towards a more densely populated, urbanized suburb. This transition may present both opportunities and challenges for the community.
