The Walteria neighborhood in Torrance, California, experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. This study examines changes in population density during this period.
In 2010, Walteria's population was 5,414 with a density of 11,023.64 people per square mile. The population reached its peak in 2014 at 6,867 residents, with a density of 13,982.15 people per square mile. This increase may be attributed to development or changes in housing availability.
The population did not maintain a consistent upward trend after 2014. Another significant increase occurred in 2019 with 6,708 residents. The most recent data from 2022 shows a population of 5,729, which is lower than peak years but higher than the 2010 baseline.
The 2022 population density of 11,665.02 people per square mile categorizes Walteria as highly urbanized. This density suggests a mix of multi-family dwellings with limited space for single-family homes.
Walteria residents likely experience a lifestyle balancing urban conveniences with challenges of dense population. The neighborhood probably offers access to public transportation and local amenities within walking distance.
Population fluctuations may reflect changes in housing affordability, job market trends, or demographic preferences. The decline from 2019 to 2022 could be due to factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic or local economic conditions.
Despite fluctuations, Walteria has maintained a stable high-density character throughout the observed period, establishing itself as a consistently urban environment within Torrance.
The estimated 2,195 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, indicates compact living arrangements typical of urban areas.
In conclusion, Walteria presents a dynamic urban landscape with significant population changes over the past decade. Its high-density character suggests a neighborhood offering urban living benefits while facing challenges associated with densely populated areas.
