Densely populated neighbourhoods in Chatham-Kent
Chatham-Kent runs about 718 people per square kilometre overall, which is low compared to a big city, and even the top spots here don't get towering. Wilsonwood is the densest neighbourhood by far at 4,088 per square kilometre, followed by Wallaceburg at 2,469 and Blenheim Junction at 2,390.
Don't expect high-rises to explain the density. Only 2.8% of homes across Chatham-Kent are high-rise apartments, and 78.1% are single-detached houses, with 73.7% owner-occupied. So the density here comes from smaller lots and older town cores, not towers. Further down the list, places like Raglan and Erie Beach sit at just 25 to 34 people per square kilometre, essentially rural.
