Population Density
The Greater Eastwood neighborhood in Houston, Texas experienced a population decline from 2010 to 2022. The population decreased from 12,290 to 9,762 residents, a reduction of 20.6% over 12 years.
Population density in Greater Eastwood decreased from 6,275.66 people per square mile in 2010 to 4,984.78 people per square mile in 2022. This change suggests a shift from a more densely populated urban environment to a less concentrated area.
The population trend between 2010 and 2022 was not uniformly downward. A slight increase occurred from 2015 to 2018, before the downward trend resumed. This fluctuation may be attributed to temporary factors affecting residency.
Greater Eastwood maintains a relatively high urban density at approximately 5,000 people per square mile. This density typically supports diverse housing types and well-developed infrastructure.
The estimated 3,740 housing units in 2022, compared to the population, suggests a potentially smaller average household size than the national average of 2.61 people. This may indicate a higher proportion of single-person households or smaller families in the area.
Greater Eastwood is notable for its historical significance as one of Houston's older neighborhoods, characterized by early 20th-century bungalow-style homes. This architectural heritage, combined with its proximity to downtown Houston, may influence the neighborhood's character and appeal.
The observed population changes in Greater Eastwood may reflect broader urban trends such as gentrification, changing housing preferences, or shifts in local economic conditions. Despite the population decline, Greater Eastwood remains a densely populated urban area.
