Population Density
The Smokey Point Manufacturing/Industrial Center in Arlington, Washington exhibited population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. This study analyzes the changes in population and density during this period.
In 2010, the population was 2,132 with a density of 681.5 people per square mile. The population reached its peak in 2019 at 2,217 residents, with a density of 708.68 people per square mile. By 2022, the population decreased to 1,880, with a density of 600.95 people per square mile.
The neighborhood is classified as a suburban rural area based on its population density. The low density indicates a combination of residential and industrial land use, consistent with its designation as a manufacturing and industrial center.
Population fluctuations may be attributed to changes in local industry, economic conditions, or housing availability. A significant population decrease occurred between 2013 and 2014, from 2,104 to 1,836 residents.
The neighborhood maintained a relatively stable population base, averaging around 2,000 residents for much of the observed period. This suggests community resilience, possibly due to its mixed industrial and residential character.
Based on the estimated 720 housing units in 2022 (calculated using the national average household size of 2.61 persons), the area likely contains a mix of single-family homes and multi-unit dwellings.
The Smokey Point Manufacturing/Industrial Center combines industrial focus with suburban-rural living. Residents may benefit from manufacturing sector job opportunities while enjoying less densely populated living spaces compared to urban areas.
In conclusion, the Smokey Point Manufacturing/Industrial Center demonstrates characteristics of a suburban rural neighborhood with strong industrial ties. Population trends reflect the dynamic nature of such areas, where economic factors significantly influence demographic patterns. The area's ability to maintain a relatively stable population base despite fluctuations indicates its enduring appeal as a location offering both employment opportunities and spacious living environments.
