The Suncrest neighborhood in Orem, Utah, demonstrated population growth from 2010 to 2022, with fluctuations. The population increased from 4,926 in 2010 to 6,236 in 2016, a 26.6% growth. Since 2016, a gradual decline occurred, with the population reaching 5,730 in 2022.
Suncrest's population density was 5,771.01 people per square mile in 2022. This density suggests a dense suburban or light urban environment, characterized by mixed housing types. Such density typically supports developed infrastructure with access to public transportation, schools, and community amenities.
The estimated 2,195 housing units in Suncrest, based on the 2022 population and national average household size, indicate a lifestyle balancing suburban and urban elements. Residents likely have access to local parks, community centers, and nearby shopping and dining options.
Population fluctuations, including growth until 2016 and subsequent decline, may reflect changes in local economic conditions, housing market dynamics, or demographic preferences. The area might have experienced an influx of young families or professionals during the growth period, followed by stabilization or slight outmigration.
Suncrest's location within Orem, part of the Provo-Orem metropolitan area, may influence its demographic composition. The area's proximity to Brigham Young University and its strong tech industry presence potentially attracts a mix of students, young professionals, and families associated with these sectors.
The high density and population changes indicate a dynamic community that has likely adapted its infrastructure and services to accommodate growth while maintaining a suburban-urban balance. Recent population stabilization suggests that community planners and policymakers may be focusing on enhancing quality of life and sustainability rather than managing rapid growth.
