From 2016 to 2019, the population remained relatively stable at approximately 800-830 residents. This period suggests the neighborhood reached a new equilibrium.
In 2020, the population decreased to 690 residents, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on urban living patterns. By 2022, the population increased to 803, nearly matching previous peak levels.
The 2022 population density of 2,710.25 people per square mile indicates a dense suburban environment. This density suggests a mix of housing types, potentially including single-family homes, townhouses, and low-rise apartments.

Despite fluctuations, the neighborhood has shown resilience, recovering from population declines and maintaining a relatively high density. This pattern suggests an enduring appeal of the area, possibly due to its location, community attributes, or ongoing development efforts.
