Population Density
The Southern Oaks neighborhood in Orlando, Florida, experienced population density fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. This study examines these changes and their implications for the neighborhood's characteristics.
In 2014, Southern Oaks reached its peak population of 5,358 residents, with a density of 25,550 people per square mile. This high density suggested a highly urbanized area with multi-story apartment buildings.
By 2022, the population decreased to 4,563, with a density of 21,759 people per square mile. This reduction indicates a potential change in the neighborhood's housing landscape.
Despite the population decrease, Southern Oaks remains a densely populated urban area. The current density suggests a neighborhood dominated by apartment buildings and possibly some townhouses, with limited space for single-family homes or large green areas.
Southern Oaks' location within Orlando, a city known for its tourism industry, may influence the neighborhood's character. This proximity to major attractions could potentially attract a mix of long-term residents and short-term visitors or seasonal workers.
The estimated 1,748 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, further emphasizes the urban nature of Southern Oaks. This high number of units in a relatively small area suggests a predominance of multi-family dwellings.
In conclusion, Southern Oaks demonstrates significant changes in population density from 2010 to 2022. While it has experienced a decrease in population density since its 2014 peak, it remains a densely populated area characteristic of urban living.
