The Iron Triangle neighborhood in West Sacramento, California, experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. Overall growth was observed, with significant year-to-year variations.
In 2022, the population density was 8,107.96 people per square mile, indicating a light urban environment. This classification suggests a neighborhood with low to mid-rise apartments, townhomes, developed infrastructure, enhanced public transportation, and local amenities.
From 2010 to 2015, rapid growth occurred, with the population increasing from 1,050 to 2,115 residents. This period likely involved increased development and potential gentrification. A sharp decline followed in 2016, succeeded by a recovery and another significant decrease from 2018 to 2021. Data from 2022 shows a slight increase to 1,507 residents.
These fluctuations may indicate changes in housing availability, economic conditions, or neighborhood desirability. The Iron Triangle's proximity to downtown Sacramento and ongoing revitalization efforts potentially influenced these population trends.
The average household size of 2.61 people suggests an estimated 577 housing units in 2022, indicating a mix of multi-family and single-family residences. This housing diversity likely contributes to the neighborhood's urban character and appeal to various demographic groups.
The Iron Triangle's history as an industrial area transitioning to a residential and mixed-use neighborhood may explain some population volatility. The area may be attracting younger professionals and families seeking an urban lifestyle while potentially retaining some long-term residents.
The Iron Triangle appears to be a dynamic neighborhood in transition, balancing its industrial past with a developing urban residential character. Population trends suggest ongoing changes in the area's composition and appeal, which may continue to shape its demographic profile in future years.
