Population Density
The population data for the 21054 ZIP code in Odenton, Maryland, spanning from 2010 to 2022, reveals a steady growth in population and population density over the past 12 years. With a total area of 16.69 square miles, the ZIP code has seen its population increase from 13,779 in 2010 to 18,032 in 2022, resulting in a population density of 1,080.41 people per square mile as of 2022.
This population density places the area in the suburban category, characterized by a mix of residential types, denser developments, and lot sizes varying from 0.25 to 1 acre. The lifestyle in such areas is typically family-oriented, with good access to schools, parks, and shopping centers. The community life is often active, with residents participating in sports leagues, homeowners associations, and local festivals.
The consistent population growth in the area suggests ongoing urban development activity, likely in the form of new residential construction and infrastructure improvements to accommodate the increasing number of residents. Assuming the national average household size of 2.61, the estimated number of housing units corresponding to the 2022 population is approximately 6,909.
As the area continues to grow and develop, it is expected to maintain its suburban character while potentially experiencing some densification in certain parts of the ZIP code. This may lead to a gradual shift towards more compact living spaces and increased access to amenities and services. However, given the current population density and the total area of the ZIP code, it is unlikely that the area will transition to an urban or dense urban classification in the near future, barring significant changes in land use patterns or zoning regulations.
