Population Map

About this Map
Each colored area on the map represents different densities of housing, with yellow being low density and red being high density. To get an idea of how these different densities show up in your region today, drag the slider under the map back to TODAY.

Each colored pixel on the map above represents a different population density, with dark red being the densest, and bright yellow being the least dense.

The approximate average number of residents in each level of density is:
  • Highest density: 178 residents / acre
  • High density: 75 residents / acre
  • Medium density: 6.5 residents / acre
  • Low density: 2.3 residents / acre
