The Hispanic population has increased from 7% in 2013 to 8% in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category has increased from 0% to 3% between 2021 and 2022.

There was a decline in median income from 2018 to 2020, followed by a recovery in 2021 and another slight decrease in 2022. The median income has remained above the national average throughout the decade.
The economic trends do not show a strong correlation with the demographic shifts. The neighborhood has maintained its affluent status regardless of the minor increases in diversity, suggesting that the economic character of the area remains stable.
Apex's slow diversification trend aligns with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the pace of change in Apex appears slower than in many other American suburbs. The high median income of Apex exceeds the median for Colorado, which was about $80,184 in 2022.
The stability of both the demographic makeup and economic status of Apex over the past decade suggests a well-established community that is beginning to experience diversification trends. The slight increase in Hispanic and multiracial populations may indicate more significant changes in the coming years if these trends continue or accelerate.
Apex currently remains a Low Diversity, White Majority neighborhood with high economic status. The subtle demographic shifts observed over the past decade suggest the potential for more significant changes in the future. The community's ability to maintain its economic strength while slowly diversifying will be an important factor to observe in the coming years.
