Population Density
Port North, a neighborhood in West Sacramento, California, experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022, with a general trend towards decline in recent years.
The population reached its maximum in 2014 with 41 residents and a population density of 132.94 people per square mile. Subsequently, a gradual decrease occurred, with the most significant reduction between 2020 and 2021, when the population decreased from 33 to 25 residents. As of 2022, the population slightly increased to 27 residents, with a population density of 87.54 people per square mile.
The low population density indicates a sparse rural setting, characterized by large land plots per household. Based on the national average household size, an estimated 10 housing units existed in 2022, suggesting significant space between residences.
The Port North neighborhood's location near the Sacramento River and within West Sacramento may influence its demographic trends. Local industry changes, particularly those related to port activities or agriculture, could affect employment opportunities and population stability.
Despite the overall population decline, relatively stable numbers between 2010 and 2020 (ranging from 33 to 41 residents) suggest the maintenance of a core community. The recent population decrease could be attributed to economic changes, shifts in housing preferences, or environmental considerations related to its riverside location.
The lifestyle in Port North is likely characterized by rural amenities. The low population density implies limited community services, with residents potentially needing to travel to more populated areas of West Sacramento for comprehensive amenities and services.
Port North represents a sparsely populated neighborhood within the broader urban context of the Sacramento metropolitan area. Its population trends reflect a community in transition, potentially influenced by broader economic and social factors affecting rural-urban interfaces in California.
