Population Density
The Niskey Lake neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia, experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. Overall growth was observed, with notable variations.
In 2010, the population was 1,043 residents, with a density of 2,301 people per square mile. Growth continued until 2013, reaching 1,251 residents. After a slight decline in 2014 and 2015, the population increased to 1,453 residents in 2017.
The most significant growth occurred between 2019 and 2020, with the population peaking at 1,702 residents and a density of 3,754 people per square mile. This increase could be attributed to factors such as new housing developments, improved amenities, or changes in local economic conditions.
However, 2021 and 2022 saw a decline in population, dropping to 1,097 residents in 2022 with a density of 2,420 people per square mile. This decline might be related to trends affecting urban areas during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The population density figures suggest that Niskey Lake maintains a suburban character. Densities between 2,000 and 4,000 people per square mile indicate a mix of single-family homes and possibly some townhouses or low-rise condominiums.
With an estimated 420 housing units in 2022 and the national average household size of 2.61 persons, Niskey Lake appears to be predominantly composed of family households.
The name Niskey Lake suggests the presence of a water feature, which could contribute to the area's appeal.
The recent population decline presents an opportunity for community leaders and urban planners to assess the neighborhood's current needs and future direction. Factors such as housing affordability, job accessibility, and quality of local amenities may influence Niskey Lake's demographic trends in the future.
