South Pointe is a place of big households: 3.19 people per home on average, compared with 2.65 nationally. Numbers like that usually point to plenty of families with kids. Even so, the typical household here is smaller than in San Bernardino overall, where it has 3.57 people. Household size has climbed from 3.00 in 2006–10, but in a place this small, much of that may be survey noise rather than real change.

About these numbers
Every figure on this page is a BestNeighborhood calculation from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), built up from the Census block groups that make up South Pointe. Each ACS 5-year release pools five years of responses; this page shows the last 15 releases, 2006–10 through 2020–24. Neighboring releases share four of their five years, so they move gradually and small changes between them are within the survey's margin of error; in small places the lines can jump from one release to the next for the same reason. The maps show the same measures for each neighborhood, ranked against the whole country.
