Brown Farm, a neighborhood in Fort Collins, Colorado, maintained a Low Diversity demographic profile with a White Majority of 83% in 2022. The neighborhood experienced population growth, reaching 3,731 residents in 2022. Brown Farm's median income declined from $81,205 in 2013 to $70,484 in 2022.

Throughout 2013-2022, Brown Farm consistently maintained a Low Diversity classification with a White Majority. The Hispanic population decreased from 15% in 2013 to 12% in 2022. Asian representation increased from 0% to 1% between 2013 and 2022. The "Two or More Races" category grew from 0% in 2013 to 4% in 2022, peaking at 8% in 2020-2021. These changes indicate Brown Farm is slowly moving towards increased diversity.
The neighborhood experienced a decline in median income from $81,205 in 2013 to $70,484 in 2022, a 13.2% decrease. This economic downturn correlates with demographic shifts. The decline in Hispanic population coincides with the decrease in median income. The increase in racial diversity has not offset the income decline, suggesting newer, more diverse residents might be entering at lower income levels.
Population growth from 3,292 in 2013 to 3,731 in 2022 (13.3% increase) indicates Brown Farm remains attractive despite income decline. This suggests a shift towards more affordable housing options, attracting a slightly more diverse but potentially lower-income population.
Brown Farm's trends can be contextualized within broader national patterns. The slow increase in diversity aligns with national trends of growing multiculturalism, although Brown Farm lags behind many urban areas. The decline in median income contrasts with national trends of slow but steady income growth in the post-2008 recession era. The growth in the "Two or More Races" category reflects a national trend of increasing multiracial identification.
Brown Farm is showing early signs of transitioning from a highly homogeneous community to a slightly more diverse one, albeit at a slow pace. This demographic shift, coupled with declining median incomes, suggests a neighborhood in economic flux. The challenge for Brown Farm will be to manage this transition in a way that maintains community stability while potentially leveraging increased diversity for future economic growth and cultural enrichment.
