Aspen Creek's median income of $200,000 in 2022 is likely significantly higher than both the state and national averages, suggesting it is an exceptionally affluent area. The persistent White Majority in Aspen Creek contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The decrease in Asian population might be part of a broader trend of migration or could be specific to this neighborhood, possibly related to housing costs or other local factors. The growth and subsequent plateau of the Hispanic population might reflect broader demographic shifts in Colorado or the Denver metropolitan area.
Aspen Creek is a stable, affluent, predominantly white neighborhood that has experienced modest diversification over the past decade, primarily through growth in its Hispanic population. The community's exceptional wealth and its ability to maintain and increase its high median income suggest it may be somewhat insulated from broader economic fluctuations. The subtle demographic shifts, particularly the decline in Asian residents and the growth then plateau of Hispanic residents, indicate underlying social and economic dynamics that could shape the neighborhood's future character.
