Lee's Hill, a neighborhood in Fredericksburg, Virginia, has experienced fluctuations in population from 2010 to 2022. The study examines these changes and their implications for suburban demographics.
In 2010, Lee's Hill had a population of 565 with a density of 4,846 people per square mile. The population decreased slightly to 543 in 2012. In 2013, there was a significant increase to 703 residents, with density rising to 6,030 people per square mile.
The population peaked in 2014 at 753 residents, with a density of 6,459 people per square mile. This suggests a period of rapid development or increased attractiveness to new residents.
After 2014, the population generally declined. By 2022, it decreased to 594, with a density of 5,095 people per square mile. This is higher than early 2010s levels but significantly lower than the 2014 peak.
The consistent suburban-level population density indicates a mix of housing types, likely including single-family homes, townhouses, and possibly low-rise apartment buildings.
Lee's Hill demonstrates characteristics of a mature suburban neighborhood, experiencing cycles of growth and contraction. These fluctuations may be attributed to changes in local employment, housing preferences, or broader economic conditions in the Fredericksburg area.
The estimated 228 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, suggests a variety of housing options to accommodate different family sizes and lifestyles.
This study of Lee's Hill illustrates the dynamic nature of suburban neighborhoods. The population changes reflect broader trends in urban development and resident preferences. The maintenance of suburban-level population densities indicates that the area continues to offer a balance between community proximity and personal space.
