Tarpley City, a neighborhood in Birmingham, Alabama, has experienced population fluctuations over the past decade. Data indicates an overall increasing trend in population density, with occasional decreases.
In 2010, the neighborhood population was 182, with a density of 605.35 people per square mile. This density suggests a suburban rural character. The population increased to 207 residents in 2013.
From 2014 to 2016, growth continued, with the population reaching 234 in 2015, corresponding to a density of 778.31 people per square mile. This increase may be associated with new housing developments or population influx.
The neighborhood experienced a decline from 2017 to 2019, with the population decreasing to 185 in 2019. This decline could be attributed to various factors including economic conditions or housing preference shifts.
Recent years have shown population growth. By 2022, the population increased to 264, with a density of 878.1 people per square mile. This represents a 42.7% increase from 2019. The current density indicates Tarpley City remains a suburban rural neighborhood.
Based on the national average household size of 2.61 persons, the estimated number of housing units in 2022 is approximately 101. This suggests a mix of single-family homes and potentially some smaller multi-unit dwellings.
The recent growth may indicate improved local amenities, better connectivity to Birmingham's urban core, or new housing developments. Despite this growth, Tarpley City remains a relatively small community within the larger Birmingham metropolitan area.
