The population density in 2022 was 5,083.02 people per square mile, indicating a relatively dense suburban environment. This density suggests a neighborhood with a mix of housing types.

With an average household size of 2.61 people, the estimated number of housing units in the neighborhood is approximately 1,968. This implies a community with a substantial residential focus.

Population fluctuations may be attributed to changes in local economic conditions, housing developments, or shifts in neighborhood desirability. The recent decline from the 2016 peak might indicate challenges in resident retention or competition from other developing areas in Fargo.

Northport's location near the Red River, prone to seasonal flooding, may influence its population dynamics. The community has likely developed flood mitigation strategies, potentially affecting infrastructure development and resident retention.

Northport appears to be a stable, moderately dense suburban neighborhood with a slight declining trend in recent years, while maintaining a substantial population base.
