The California Park neighborhood in San Rafael, California, experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. The population peaked in 2015 at 1,528 residents and declined to 1,302 by 2022, representing a 15% decrease from the 2015 high point.
The population density in 2022 was 6,468.61 people per square mile, indicating a light urban environment. This density suggests a neighborhood with a mix of low to mid-rise apartments and potentially townhomes.
The area's population trajectory shows three phases: growth from 2010 to 2015 (17% increase), stability from 2015 to 2019, and decline from 2019 to 2022 (8.5% decrease).
These changes may reflect housing market shifts, economic conditions, or changes in neighborhood appeal. The recent decline might indicate a trend towards smaller household sizes or a shift in demographic composition.
The estimated 498 housing units for the 2022 population, considering the national average household size of 2.61 persons, suggests California Park has a slightly higher occupancy rate or larger household sizes than the national average.
California Park's proximity to China Camp State Park likely influences residents' lifestyle, providing opportunities for outdoor recreation.
The neighborhood's population density and location within San Rafael suggest a balance between urban amenities and access to natural spaces. The recent population decline may warrant monitoring to understand if it represents a long-term trend or a temporary fluctuation.
