The population of Githens Acres decreased from 209 residents in 2010 to 189 in 2022, a 9.6% decline over 12 years. Despite this overall decrease, the period included intervals of growth and stability.

The population fluctuations may indicate a neighborhood in transition. A significant decrease from 209 residents in 2010 to 170 in 2011 could suggest a major event such as an employer closure or neighborhood redevelopment. Subsequent gradual increases and stabilization may reflect ongoing development or changing demographic trends.
Despite the overall decrease since 2010, there was an increase to 200 residents in 2020, possibly related to societal changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as relocation from urban to suburban areas.
