Population Density
North Weymouth, a neighborhood in Weymouth Town, Massachusetts, experienced population growth from 2010 to 2022. The population increased from 10,022 to 11,629, representing a 16% growth over this period.
The growth pattern was not consistent. A significant increase occurred between 2017 and 2018, with the population rising from 10,994 to 11,944 residents. This increase may be attributed to new housing developments or changes in local economic conditions.
In 2022, the population density was approximately 3,568 people per square mile. This density suggests a dense suburban environment with a mix of housing types, including single-family homes, townhouses, and potentially low-rise apartments or condominiums.
The neighborhood had an estimated 4,456 housing units in 2022, based on the national average household size of 2.61. This housing density implies the presence of local amenities such as parks, community centers, schools, and shopping areas. Public transportation options may also be available.
Despite the overall growth trend, some years experienced population decline. Between 2019 and 2020, the population decreased from 12,013 to 11,627. This decline could be due to economic changes, shifts in housing availability, or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The population density consistently remained above 3,000 people per square mile throughout the study period. This indicates that North Weymouth maintained its suburban character while accommodating growth, suggesting some development or redevelopment occurred to house the increasing population.
North Weymouth demonstrates characteristics of a dynamic suburban neighborhood that experienced overall population growth with some fluctuations between 2010 and 2022. The population density suggests a lifestyle combining elements of suburban living with access to urban-style amenities.
