The Broadmoor neighborhood in Overland Park, Kansas, is characterized as a "Low Diversity" community with a "White Majority" as of 2022, with 79% of the population identifying as white. The median income in the area has increased over the past decade, reaching $54,140 in 2022, indicating economic growth. Broadmoor is located near the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.
Over the past decade, Broadmoor has maintained its status as a "White Majority" community, but has experienced changes in its diversity profile. From 2013 to 2019, the neighborhood was classified as having "Moderate Diversity," with increased representation of Asian, Hispanic, and Black populations. The period from 2017 to 2020 saw the highest levels of diversity, with the white population reaching its lowest point of 65% in 2019. Since 2020, there has been a trend reversal towards "Low Diversity," with the white population increasing to 79% by 2022.
The demographic shifts in Broadmoor correlate with economic changes. During the period of increased diversity (2013-2019), median incomes remained relatively stable, ranging from about $43,000 to $50,000. As the community began trending back towards lower diversity from 2020 onwards, there was a significant increase in median income, rising from $50,459 in 2019 to $54,140 in 2022. The population has generally decreased over the decade, from 3,704 in 2010 to 2,655 in 2022.
The trends observed in Broadmoor can be contextualized within broader national patterns. The trend towards increased diversity followed by a reversal is somewhat atypical compared to national trends, which generally show increasing diversity in suburban areas. The rising median income aligns with national trends of economic recovery and growth post-2008 recession, but the sharp increase since 2019 outpaces national averages. The decreasing population in Broadmoor contrasts with the general growth seen in many suburban areas of major cities.
Broadmoor presents a case of a neighborhood that experienced a period of increasing diversity followed by a reversion to a more homogeneous demographic composition. This shift correlates with significant economic growth. The unique trajectory of Broadmoor underscores the complexity of suburban demographic evolution and the importance of considering local contexts in understanding these trends.
