Population Density
Castle Heights, a neighborhood in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, experienced significant population changes from 2014 to 2022. Data shows a decline from 2014 to 2018, followed by a gradual recovery through 2022.
In 2014, the neighborhood's population peaked at 604 residents with a density of 3,903.18 people per square mile. By 2018, the population decreased to 235 residents, with density dropping to 1,518.62 people per square mile. This decline suggests a significant event or trend causing resident departure.
Since 2018, Castle Heights has shown recovery. The 2022 data indicates a population of 443 residents with a density of 2,862.76 people per square mile. This categorizes Castle Heights as a dense suburban neighborhood, characterized by mixed housing types including townhouses and low-rise condominiums.
The current population density suggests developed infrastructure with access to public transportation, schools, and healthcare facilities. Residents likely have access to local parks, community centers, and amenities supporting an active lifestyle.
Despite recent population increase, the neighborhood has not returned to mid-2010s levels. This may indicate ongoing changes in area attractiveness or housing market dynamics. The estimated 170 housing units for the 2022 population, based on national average household size, suggests a mix of family homes and smaller residences.
Castle Heights has maintained a relatively high population density throughout its fluctuations, indicating an area of concentrated habitation within Winston-Salem. This consistent density, even during population changes, might suggest a stable urban layout with limited expansion possibilities, potentially due to geographical constraints or zoning regulations.
Monitoring future population trends will be crucial for understanding the neighborhood's trajectory and its role within the broader Winston-Salem urban landscape.
