The Mesquite Ranch neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona, experienced population changes from 2010 to 2022. The population increased from 1,649 to 2,785 residents between 2010 and 2019. This growth period showed a consistent rise in population density, indicating ongoing residential development and increasing urbanization.
In 2020, the population decreased to 2,194 residents. This reduction could be attributed to various factors, potentially including the COVID-19 pandemic's impact. The population has remained relatively stable since then, with slight increases in 2021 and 2022, reaching 2,213 residents by the end of 2022.
The current population density of approximately 1,632 people per square mile classifies Mesquite Ranch as a light suburban neighborhood. This density suggests a mix of housing types, likely including single-family homes and possibly townhouses. The area likely features infrastructure with access to schools, healthcare facilities, and local amenities.
The neighborhood's location in Tucson may be influenced by the desert ecosystem of southern Arizona. This could affect residents' lifestyle, potentially encouraging outdoor activities adapted to the arid climate.
The estimated 848 housing units corresponding to the 2022 population, based on the national average household size, suggests a community that may attract a mix of families and individuals. The slight population increase in recent years, following the 2020 decrease, might indicate a gradual return to pre-pandemic trends or a stabilization of the community's demographics.
Mesquite Ranch has experienced significant population changes. Its current state suggests a community that balances suburban amenities with the characteristics of its desert setting.
