Population
Highland Lake, a small community in Alabama, has experienced notable demographic changes over the past decade. The population has fluctuated significantly, reaching its peak at 3,640 residents in 2018 before declining to 2,550 in 2022. This fluctuation is reflected in the town's population density, which ranged from 1,338 people per square mile in 2011 to 2,230 in 2018, eventually settling at 1,562 in 2022.
The racial composition of Highland Lake has remained predominantly white throughout the observed period. From 2013 to 2022, the white population consistently comprised over 80% of the total. However, there has been a noticeable increase in the Hispanic population, which grew from a mere 0.1% in 2013 to 6% in 2022, with a significant spike to 16% in 2021.
Economic indicators, such as median rent, have also shown considerable variation. The town saw median rent prices fluctuate from a low of $679 in 2015 to a high of $981 in 2021, before decreasing to $701 in 2022. These changes in rent prices may reflect broader economic trends or changes in the local housing market.
It is important to note that comprehensive violent crime statistics for Highland Lake are not available in the provided data. The property crime section only indicates zeros for all violent crime categories in 2010, with no data available for subsequent years. This lack of information makes it impossible to analyze violent crime trends, make comparisons, or forecast future patterns reliably for the town.
Without specific and consistent crime data over multiple years, it is not possible to draw conclusions about violent crime trends or their relationship to the demographic changes observed in Highland Lake. Any meaningful analysis of crime patterns or predictions for future trends would require access to more comprehensive and consistent crime statistics spanning several years.
The demographic shifts observed in Highland Lake, including population fluctuations, changes in racial composition, and variations in median rent, provide insight into the dynamic nature of this small Alabama community. However, the relationship between these demographic changes and crime trends remains unclear due to the absence of reliable crime data. Further research and more comprehensive data collection would be necessary to establish any potential correlations between demographic shifts and crime patterns in Highland Lake.
