Population Density
The White Street Gallery District in Key West, Florida, is classified as a Light Urban area with a population density of 6,000 to 8,000 people per square mile from 2010 to 2022. This density has remained consistent over the past decade.
The population in this district has experienced fluctuations between 2010 and 2022. The highest recorded population was 1,251 in 2011, while the lowest was 950 in 2022. This represents a 20% decrease from the peak population.
The area's density indicates a compact living environment. It likely consists of low to mid-rise apartments and possibly townhomes. This urban setting typically provides residents with easy access to amenities within walking distance.
Key West's geographical location as a small island city at the southernmost point of the continental United States provides context for these population trends. The limited physical space for expansion naturally constrains population growth and may contribute to the observed fluctuations.
The estimated 364 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, suggests a mix of single-occupant dwellings and family homes. This diverse housing composition could reflect a blend of long-term residents, artists, and possibly short-term rentals.
Despite the recent population decrease, the neighborhood maintains a relatively stable density. This could indicate a resilient local community or suggest that vacated spaces are quickly repurposed or reoccupied.
The White Street Gallery District's population trends reflect the complex interplay of factors shaping urban neighborhoods, especially in culturally significant and geographically unique locations like Key West. Continued monitoring of these trends could provide insights into the evolving nature of this urban enclave.
