The Ellenwand neighborhood in Topeka, Kansas, experienced significant population density changes from 2010 to 2022. This study examines the demographic shifts in this urban area.
In 2010, Ellenwand's population was 4,750 with a density of 36,989 people per square mile. The population peaked in 2017 at 5,156 residents, with a density of 40,151 people per square mile. This increase suggests potential urban development and increased multi-unit housing.
Post-2017, Ellenwand underwent a population decline. By 2022, the population decreased to 4,317, with density dropping to 33,617 people per square mile. This 16% decrease from the 2017 peak may be attributed to economic changes, shifting housing preferences, or urban renewal projects.
Ellenwand maintains a high urban density despite recent population loss. The 2022 density indicates a compact living environment, likely characterized by high-rise buildings and small to medium-sized apartments.
The high density suggests an urban lifestyle with access to public transportation, local amenities, and cultural experiences. Challenges may include limited green spaces and potential congestion.
The neighborhood's ability to maintain high density despite population decrease indicates a resilient urban structure and continued housing demand in this location.
Based on the 2022 population and national average household size, an estimated 1,654 housing units exist in Ellenwand. This figure, combined with the high population density, suggests a prevalence of multi-story buildings with relatively small living spaces per unit.
In conclusion, Ellenwand represents a highly urbanized neighborhood that has undergone significant population changes from 2010 to 2022. While experiencing a decline from its 2017 peak, it remains an intensely populated area. Future trends will depend on urban planning initiatives and potential new developments in this compact urban community.
