The increase in racial categories such as Pacific Islander and Two or More Races aligns with national trends of increasing multiracial identification and growing diversity in urban areas. The decrease in the Black population percentage contrasts with the trend of increasing diversity, suggesting possible localized factors influencing demographic shifts.
Alessandro maintains its status as a Hispanic Racial Majority community with relatively low diversity. Subtle shifts in its demographic makeup and significant economic fluctuations indicate a neighborhood in transition. These changes may be influenced by local factors such as the redevelopment of nearby facilities, as well as broader regional and national trends in demographics and economics.
