Bohl's Place in Pflugerville, Texas, is a predominantly White Majority neighborhood with a high median income. As of 2022, the community is categorized as Low Diversity, with 73% of the population identifying as white. The neighborhood has experienced population fluctuations over the past decade, ranging from approximately 1,100 to 2,600 residents. Bohl's Place has maintained a consistently high median income throughout this period, positioning it as an affluent suburb of the Austin metropolitan area.
Over the past decade, Bohl's Place has primarily maintained its status as a White Majority community. From 2013 to 2016, the neighborhood was categorized as Low Diversity, with the white population consistently above 70% and Hispanic residents forming the largest minority group at around 18%. In 2017 and 2018, there was a slight increase in diversity, with the Hispanic population decreasing and the introduction of a significant "Two or More Races" category. This shift briefly moved the neighborhood towards Moderate Diversity.
By 2020-2021, the area reverted to Low Diversity, with the white population reaching 87%. In 2022, there was a notable increase in the Black population (13%) and a decrease in the Hispanic population, potentially indicating the beginning of a Transitional Community phase.
The median income in Bohl's Place has shown an overall upward trend, with some fluctuations. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $126,842 to $138,089, peaking at $149,727 in 2021. The highest diversity period (2017-2019) coincided with some of the highest median incomes, suggesting that increased diversity did not negatively impact the neighborhood's affluence. Population changes do not seem to have a direct correlation with income levels, as both increases and decreases in population have occurred alongside rising incomes.
Bohl's Place's median income is significantly higher than the national median household income, which was around $67,000 in 2020. The neighborhood's racial composition differs from national averages, with a much higher percentage of white residents and lower representation of other racial groups, particularly Asian Americans. The recent increase in Black residents and the consistent presence of Hispanic residents, albeit decreasing, suggests that Bohl's Place may be slowly aligning with broader national trends towards increased diversity in suburban areas.
Bohl's Place represents an affluent, predominantly white neighborhood that has maintained its economic status while experiencing subtle shifts in racial composition. The recent changes observed in 2022 may indicate the beginning of a more significant demographic transition, potentially moving the area towards greater diversity in the coming years. This evolution aligns with broader trends seen in many American suburbs, where increasing diversity is gradually reshaping traditionally homogeneous communities.
