Population Density
The Hearthwood neighborhood in Vancouver, Washington, experienced population density fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. The density ranged from 6,300 people per square mile in 2020 to 10,612 people per square mile in 2015. This variability indicates changes in the neighborhood's residential composition.
As of 2022, Hearthwood's population was 1,566 with a density of 6,997 people per square mile. This density categorizes Hearthwood as a light urban neighborhood, likely featuring a mix of low to mid-rise apartments and townhomes. Such areas typically have infrastructure supporting community connectivity, public transportation, and local amenities.
The population trend shows a general decline from the mid-2010s peak, with a significant decrease between 2019 and 2020, potentially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A slight population recovery has occurred since 2020, suggesting possible stabilization or renewed interest in the area.
The estimated 600 housing units for the 2022 population, compared to the national average household size of 2.61 persons, suggests Hearthwood has a lower average household size. This may indicate a higher proportion of single-person households or smaller families than the national average.
Hearthwood's location within Vancouver likely provides residents access to urban amenities while maintaining lower density than core urban areas. This balance may attract young professionals, small families, and retirees seeking urban convenience with suburban space.
Despite recent population increases since 2020, the neighborhood has not returned to its mid-2010s population levels. This may indicate ongoing changes in housing preferences, economic factors, or local development patterns affecting residency in Hearthwood.
