The South Causeway neighborhood in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, experienced population fluctuations from 2011 to 2022. The area had a population density of 2,011.49 people per square mile in 2022, classifying it as a light suburban neighborhood. This classification suggests a mix of single-family homes and townhouses, with developed infrastructure including public transportation, schools, and healthcare facilities.
The population data shows variability over the observed period. The neighborhood's population decreased from 728 residents in 2011 to 450 in 2013, followed by a gradual increase. The population peaked at 860 residents in 2021, before decreasing to 700 in 2022. These fluctuations may be attributed to economic changes, housing market dynamics, or local policy shifts affecting residential development.
The neighborhood's coastal location likely influences its demographic composition. Coastal communities often attract retirees and seasonal residents, which may contribute to population variability. The proximity to the causeway suggests accessibility to both mainland and beach areas, potentially appealing to those seeking a balance between urban amenities and coastal living.
The estimated 268 housing units in 2022, based on the national average household size, indicate a relatively stable residential base despite population fluctuations. This may suggest a mix of permanent residents and seasonal occupants, typical of Florida coastal communities.
The population density has remained above 1,500 people per square mile since 2014, indicating that the South Causeway neighborhood has maintained its suburban character. This density supports a community-focused lifestyle with local amenities likely playing important roles in daily life.
As a coastal area in Florida, the South Causeway neighborhood may face challenges related to climate change and severe weather events, which could influence long-term population trends and infrastructure development. However, the area's population maintenance and growth over the observed period suggest resilience despite these potential challenges.
