Over the past decade, Burchwood Gardens has consistently maintained its status as a low diversity community with a white majority. In 2013, the neighborhood was near the boundary between low and moderate diversity, with a white population of 67% and a Black population of 30%. From 2014 to 2022, the community solidified its low diversity status, with the white population consistently exceeding 74% and reaching as high as 81% in 2015.

The economic landscape of Burchwood Gardens has shown significant fluctuations over the past decade. Median income dropped from $59,911 in 2013 to $49,739 in 2017, coinciding with a period of relative stability in the racial composition. From 2017 to 2021, there was a substantial increase in median income, peaking at $76,632 in 2021, a 54% increase over four years. This economic upswing correlates with a slight increase in the white population percentage and a decrease in the Black population percentage. The most recent data for 2022 shows a slight decrease in median income to $68,322.
Burchwood Gardens' maintenance of low diversity status contrasts with national trends of growing diversity in metropolitan areas. However, the increasing Hispanic population aligns with broader national demographic shifts. The economic trajectory of Burchwood Gardens, particularly the sharp increase in median income from 2017 to 2021, outpaces national averages for income growth during this period.
The maintenance of a stable population size despite significant income increases suggests that Burchwood Gardens may be experiencing in-situ socioeconomic changes rather than large-scale displacement or rapid new development. This pattern of economic growth without significant population change is uncommon and may warrant further investigation into local housing policies, zoning regulations, or community preservation efforts.
