The Greer Park neighborhood in Valdosta, Georgia, exhibited population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. Between 2010 and 2021, the population increased from 1,732 to 2,378, representing a 37% growth. This trend reversed in 2022, with the population decreasing to 1,979, a 16.8% decline from the previous year.
The population density in Greer Park was 5,615.33 people per square mile as of 2022. This high density suggests a compact, urban-style living environment. The neighborhood contained an estimated 758 housing units, based on the national average household size.
Despite the population decrease in 2022, the overall trend from 2010 to 2022 shows a 14% growth. This long-term growth, combined with high density, indicates that Greer Park remains a desirable location within Valdosta.
The sudden population decline in 2022 requires further investigation. It may be attributed to local events, broader trends affecting urban neighborhoods, changes in employment opportunities, housing market shifts, or effects of the global pandemic.
Greer Park is characterized as a densely populated urban neighborhood that has experienced both growth and recent contraction. The high population density suggests a lifestyle balancing urban conveniences with the character of a smaller city. Future years will be crucial in determining whether the recent population decline is an anomaly or the beginning of a new demographic trend for this neighborhood.
