Warning, probably boring post ahead....
To sum up, out of the 20 census tracts that lost population:
- 9 are on the west side (1147, 1003.07, 1003.08, 1005, 1026, 1027.01, 1027.02, 1028.01, 1028.02). |
Anecdote alert: I live (for the rest of the month) on the 900 W block of Euclid (150 S) between 900 and 1000 W. I've only been here for 5 years and it seems like there has been a gradual decline, but that is changing rapidly. Three lots that were vacant during the census have been combined and 10 units are now under construction there and I know of 5 more lots on this block alone, including my own, which have been purchased by developers for town homes so there will be a population explosion on just this block. Also down the block and across 900 West, where 2 people were living when I moved in and no one during the census, a 200 some odd apartment building is about to go up. Plus all the apartments going in west of I-15 along North Temple. Fair Park seems on the brink as well as I'm moving into a townhouse development that consisted of trees during the census and will have 30-40 people next time around. Hoyt Place may actually get built in the next 10 years. And there are reports of townhouses north of Rancho Market where the drugstore used to be. So 10 years on will be a different story.
