Over the past decade, Beverly Estates has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a strong White Majority. From 2013 to 2018, there was an increase in the Hispanic population from 5% to 18%. This trend briefly pushed the neighborhood towards Moderate Diversity, but subsequently reversed.

Throughout the decade, there has been minimal representation of Asian, Black, Native American, Pacific Islander, or multiracial residents.

These fluctuations coincide with demographic shifts. The neighborhood experienced population growth from 826 residents in 2013 to 1,184 residents in 2019, followed by a decline to 755 residents in 2022. This pattern aligns with the income trends and racial composition changes. Despite the recent decline, the median income remains high, indicating that Beverly Estates continues to attract affluent residents, predominantly white.
The trends in Beverly Estates reflect some broader national patterns. The consistently high median income aligns with trends of wealth concentration in suburban areas of major cities. The persistence of a White Majority in an affluent suburb reflects ongoing patterns of racial and economic segregation seen in many U.S. metropolitan areas. The temporary increase and subsequent decrease in the Hispanic population might mirror broader migration patterns or economic shifts affecting certain demographic groups more than others.
Beverly Estates presents a case of a wealthy, predominantly white suburban neighborhood that has experienced demographic and economic fluctuations over the past decade. While briefly trending towards increased diversity, it has ultimately reinforced its status as a Low Diversity, high-income enclave. These trends raise questions about factors driving local demographic changes and the long-term implications for community integration and socioeconomic diversity in suburban areas.
