The Bristol-Warner neighborhood in Santa Ana, California, is characterized by Low Diversity with a Hispanic Racial Majority. In 2022, 90% of the population identified as Hispanic, with a median income of $95,778. This neighborhood has maintained a high median income over the years, exceeding the national average, despite its predominantly Hispanic population.
Over the past decade, Bristol-Warner has consistently remained a Low Diversity neighborhood with a Hispanic Racial Majority. The Hispanic population has ranged from 85% to 95% between 2013 and 2022. In 2019, the neighborhood briefly showed signs of Moderate Diversity, with the Hispanic population at 85% and increases in Asian and White populations, but this shift was temporary.
The neighborhood has experienced significant economic growth despite the consistent Hispanic Racial Majority. The median income increased from $89,716 in 2013 to $95,778 in 2022, peaking at $106,751 in 2019. This trend indicates substantial economic success within the Hispanic community in Bristol-Warner.
The population has fluctuated, ranging from 2,174 in 2011 to 3,234 in 2020. These population changes do not appear directly correlated with income levels, suggesting other factors may influence population dynamics.
The economic success of Bristol-Warner's Hispanic community is notable when compared to national trends. In 2019, the median household income for Hispanic Americans was $55,321, significantly lower than Bristol-Warner's median income. This suggests unique economic opportunities for Hispanic residents in the neighborhood.
The stability of the Hispanic majority in Bristol-Warner contrasts with many urban areas in the United States that have experienced rapid demographic changes. The neighborhood's maintenance of cultural identity while achieving economic growth could serve as a model for other communities.
Bristol-Warner presents a case of a Low Diversity, Hispanic Racial Majority neighborhood with significant economic success. It has shown economic resilience and growth over the past decade, challenging preconceptions about the economic status of predominantly Hispanic communities and highlighting the potential for ethnic enclaves to thrive economically while maintaining cultural identity.
