Park Point’s Quiet Population Shift | Duluth News

Park Point’s population has shrunk by nearly 30% over three decades, dropping from 1,500 in 1990 to just over 1,100 by 2020—with the steepest decline between 2000 and 2010. Yet while the neighborhood empties, Duluth as a whole remains stable, a rare feat for cities its size amid declining birth rates and slower migration. Surprisingly, housing units have surged—mostly seasonal homes—while homeownership and renting have become more balanced. Home prices soar at nearly $500K, with small, older-owner dwellings dominating. Despite these shifts, demographer Susan Brower sees hope: Park Point is entering a new era that demands creative solutions—and may hold unexpected promise.
