Population Density
Dennis Port, Massachusetts, has experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. The population decreased from 4,425 in 2010 to 3,692 in 2016, followed by a recovery to 4,139 in 2017.
The 2022 population was 4,025, with a density of 1,216.48 people per square mile. This density categorizes Dennis Port as a light suburban neighborhood, characterized by single-family homes and possibly townhouses.
The area's coastal location on Cape Cod may contribute to seasonal population fluctuations due to tourism, potentially affecting census counts.
The estimated 1,542 housing units for the 2022 population, based on the national average household size of 2.61 persons, suggests a mix of year-round residences and potential vacation homes or rental properties.
Dennis Port's lifestyle is likely influenced by its coastal setting, offering suburban amenities with beach town characteristics. Residents may have access to local parks, community centers, and ocean-related recreational activities.
The population has not returned to its 2010 peak, despite recent recovery. This trend may indicate ongoing changes in demographic composition or economic factors affecting long-term residency patterns. Future urban planning and community development initiatives may need to consider these population dynamics.
