Population Density
The Stonybrook neighborhood in Levittown, Pennsylvania, experienced population fluctuations from 2010 to 2022. Between 2010 and 2019, the population remained stable, ranging from 1,470 to 1,627 residents. A decline began in 2020, with the population decreasing to 1,168, and further reducing to 945 by 2022.
This population decline affected the neighborhood's density. In 2019, Stonybrook had a population density of 6,519.55 people per square mile. By 2022, this decreased to 4,026.78 people per square mile, altering the neighborhood's classification from dense suburban to moderate suburban density.
The population decrease may be attributed to various factors, including economic changes, shifts in housing preferences, or broader demographic trends. The decline coincides with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have influenced residential choices and migration patterns.
Despite the population decrease, Stonybrook maintains a relatively high population density compared to many suburban areas. This suggests the neighborhood likely retains a mix of housing types, possibly including single-family homes, townhouses, and low-rise apartments.
Based on the 2022 population and the national average household size of 2.61 persons, Stonybrook is estimated to have approximately 362 housing units. This housing stock, combined with the neighborhood's area of 0.23 square miles, indicates a compact living environment.
The specific reasons for the population decline are not stated in the data. It is possible that Stonybrook has experienced challenges or changes that have reduced its attractiveness to residents in recent years. However, the sustained moderate density suggests it maintains some appeal as a residential area within Levittown.
As Stonybrook adjusts to its lower population, residents may experience changes in local services, community dynamics, and utilization of public spaces. The neighborhood may be in a period of transition, which could present challenges and opportunities for community development and revitalization efforts.
