Despite population decrease, Gorgas maintains a relatively high population density characteristic of suburban areas. This suggests retention of suburban infrastructure and character. Residents likely have access to typical suburban amenities, though some may be under pressure due to the shrinking population base.

The estimated number of housing units for 2022, based on the national average household size, is approximately 1,175. This figure, considered with the population decline, raises questions about potential increases in vacancy rates or changes in household composition over time.

Gorgas is known for its proximity to the University of South Alabama, which could influence its demographic makeup and housing market. The presence of a university typically attracts a younger, more transient population of students and academic staff, potentially explaining population fluctuations.

Gorgas presents a suburban neighborhood undergoing significant demographic changes. The consistent population decline suggests a need for investigation into underlying causes and potential implementation of strategies to stabilize or reverse this trend for the neighborhood's long-term vitality.
