Over the past decade, Alicia Park has consistently maintained its status as a Low Diversity neighborhood with a White Majority. The white population has decreased from 84% in 2013 to 77% in 2022, indicating a slow but steady diversification. The Hispanic population has increased from 7% in 2013 to 11% in 2022. The Asian population has shown fluctuation, peaking at 11% in 2020 before settling at 5% in 2022. These changes suggest that Alicia Park may be in the early stages of becoming a Transitional Community, albeit at a slow pace.
The median income in Alicia Park has shown fluctuations over the years, with a general upward trend. From $70,591 in 2013, it reached a high of $75,463 in 2021 before slightly decreasing to $69,470 in 2022. This overall increase in median income correlates with the gradual diversification of the neighborhood, suggesting that incoming diverse populations may be contributing to economic growth. The slight dip in 2022 could be attributed to broader economic factors affecting the region or nation.
The population has remained relatively stable, with modest growth from 2,804 in 2010 to 2,966 in 2022. This steady population, combined with increasing diversity and generally rising incomes, indicates a neighborhood that is gradually evolving while maintaining its core character.
The trends in Alicia Park reflect broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban and urban neighborhoods. The gradual increase in Hispanic and Asian populations is consistent with national demographic shifts seen in many parts of the United States. However, the pace of change in Alicia Park appears to be slower than what might be observed in more rapidly diversifying urban areas.
The economic stability and slight growth in median income suggest that Alicia Park may be faring better than some areas that have experienced economic challenges in recent years.
Alicia Park represents a neighborhood in the early stages of transition from a predominantly white, low-diversity area to a more diverse community. While changes are occurring gradually, the increasing presence of Hispanic and Asian residents, coupled with generally rising incomes, suggests a neighborhood that is slowly evolving. This gradual change may allow for a smoother integration of new residents while maintaining neighborhood stability, potentially leading to a more diverse and economically robust community in the future.
