Population Density
The Denver Harbor - Port Houston neighborhood in Houston, Texas experienced a population decline from 18,030 residents in 2010 to 16,052 in 2022, representing an 11% decrease over 12 years.
The population density in 2022 was 2,402.58 people per square mile, indicating a suburban character with a mix of housing types. This density suggests a moderate population concentration.
The neighborhood reached its peak population of 18,686 residents in 2011. Since then, a general downward trend has been observed, with the most significant decrease occurring between 2015 and 2016, when the population reduced by nearly 800 people.
Despite the overall decline, periods of slight population growth have occurred, such as between 2020 and 2021, followed by another decrease in 2022.
The estimated number of housing units for 2022, based on the national average household size of 2.61 persons, is approximately 6,150. This figure provides insight into the available housing stock in the neighborhood.
The neighborhood's proximity to the Port of Houston likely influences its demographics, with a significant working-class population potentially employed in maritime and industrial sectors.
The gradual population decline may be attributed to various factors, including changing economic conditions, shifts in housing preferences, or impacts of natural events. Despite these challenges, the relatively stable population density in recent years indicates that the neighborhood maintains its suburban character within the larger Houston metropolitan region.
