Population Density
The Balboa-South Indian Trail neighborhood in Spokane, Washington, experienced population growth from 2010 to 2022. The population increased from 7,582 to 8,339 residents, representing a 10% growth over 12 years.
The population density in 2022 was 4,083.9 people per square mile. This density indicates a dense suburban environment with diverse housing types and developed infrastructure.
The population growth was not linear, with periods of growth and decline. A significant increase occurred between 2012 and 2013, followed by a decrease in 2014. Another notable increase happened between 2020 and 2022, with the population rising from 7,715 to 8,339.
Population fluctuations may be attributed to factors such as new housing developments, changes in local economic conditions, or shifts in neighborhood attractiveness. The consistent population density above 3,700 people per square mile suggests the neighborhood maintained its suburban character while accommodating growth.
The estimated 3,195 housing units in 2022 and the national average household size of 2.61 persons indicate a mix of family sizes in the neighborhood. This diversity likely contributes to the community atmosphere.
The Balboa-South Indian Trail area's proximity to natural attractions, including the Spokane River and hiking trails, may influence resident lifestyle and contribute to the neighborhood's appeal. This combination of suburban amenities and access to nature may factor into population growth and retention.
The Balboa-South Indian Trail neighborhood demonstrates characteristics of a thriving dense suburban area with a trend towards population growth. Its consistent density and recent population increases suggest a stable and potentially increasingly desirable living environment within Spokane.
