The Neighborhood
Back Bay is Boston’s polished, postcard-ready neighborhood: brownstones, big-name shopping on Newbury Street, and a steady flow of people headed to the Public Garden, the Esplanade, or “just one coffee” that turns into a two-hour hang. It’s also smaller than many folks assume, with a total population of 15,976 and a median age of 34, which tracks with its mix of established professionals, grad students, and empty-nesters who like their city life with better lighting and fewer surprises.
On the “how packed is it?” scale, Back Bay is firmly High density. The City of Boston’s Back Bay/Beacon Hill planning district reports 30,528 people per square mile (a dense urban level by any normal standard). For income, the closest match to “average individual income” is per capita income, which is estimated around $108,793 for Back Bay.
