Wakefield's population density was 45,240.63 people per square mile in 2022, categorizing it as a hyper-urban environment. This density suggests a prevalence of high-rise residential buildings and urban infrastructure.
The population changes indicate demographic shifts, potentially influenced by factors such as housing availability and economic conditions. The growth trend, particularly between 2020 and 2021, may suggest increased attractiveness of the area.
The high population density implies an urban lifestyle with access to public transportation, diverse dining options, and cultural venues. Dense populations often foster community engagement and active street life.
Wakefield's proximity to Van Cortlandt Park, one of New York City's largest parks, provides residents with access to green spaces. This juxtaposition of urban density and natural areas may contribute to the neighborhood's appeal.
Based on the national average household size, an estimated 25,625 housing units accommodated the 2022 population. This suggests a mix of housing types, likely including apartment buildings and possibly older homes or townhouses.
Wakefield demonstrates urban dynamics, balancing high-density living with access to significant green space. The population trends indicate neighborhood flux, potentially becoming more attractive to new residents while maintaining its urban character.
