Population Density
The Southpoint neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida, experienced population growth from 2010 to 2022. The population increased from 2,834 to 4,306 residents, representing a 52% growth rate.
The population density in 2022 was 1,502.06 people per square mile, indicating a light suburban environment. This density suggests a neighborhood with a mix of single-family homes and potentially some townhouses, along with developed infrastructure.
The population growth was not linear. Periods of rapid increase occurred, such as between 2011 and 2012 when the population increased from 3,014 to 3,431. Periods of decline also occurred, notably from 2016 to 2017 when the population decreased from 4,155 to 3,858.
Recent years show a return to growth, with the population increasing from 3,958 in 2021 to 4,306 in 2022.
The estimated 1,650 housing units for the 2022 population, considering the national average household size of 2.61 persons, suggests a mix of family homes and potentially smaller households or single-occupancy residences.
Southpoint's location within Jacksonville likely contributes to its appeal. Residents likely have access to suburban amenities, urban facilities, and natural recreational opportunities.
Southpoint demonstrates the dynamic nature of suburban growth in a major Florida city, with its population trends reflecting broader patterns of urban development and demographic shifts in the region.
