Figure 4: Population and Employment Density by Block Group (2019)

Figure 4 shows population and employment density (per square mile) within the Temple MMP study area. Population and employment are symbolized by gradient of yellow and blue, respectively, where darker colors indicate higher density. As expected, population and employment are concentrated near downtown Temple with lower density employment surrounding the City’s core.

Population growth in the City’s core has outpaced employment over the past decade. While Figure 4 illustrates the densities of subareas where people live and work, Figure 5 describes how these subareas are growing in terms of percent change over time.
