The Anderson St. / Wrightwood Park neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. The population increased from 2010 to 2015, reaching 1,588 residents. Since 2020, the population has decreased, with 705 residents recorded in 2022.
The neighborhood is classified as a Light Suburban area, with a population density of 1,251.23 people per square mile in 2022. This classification indicates a combination of single-family homes and potentially townhouses, along with developed infrastructure including public transportation, schools, and healthcare facilities.
The population decline from 2019 to 2022 was significant, with a decrease of nearly 48%. This change may be attributed to various factors such as urban renewal projects, changes in local employment opportunities, or shifts in housing preferences.
The neighborhood's history of higher population densities suggests it has the infrastructure to support a larger community. The current lower population density may result in less congested public spaces and potentially more available housing options.
The proximity to Duke University likely influences the neighborhood's demographic composition and local culture. The area may attract students, faculty, and professionals associated with the university.
As the neighborhood adapts to its current population level, changes in local business activity, community events, and public service provisions may occur. Future years will be important in determining whether this population decline is a temporary fluctuation or a longer-term trend, which will impact the neighborhood's character and development.
