The Chase neighborhood in Citrus Heights, California, exhibits a low diversity demographic profile with a white majority of 83% in 2022. This suburban community in the Sacramento metropolitan area has experienced minor demographic shifts over the past decade while maintaining a stable economic status. The neighborhood is characterized by its family-friendly atmosphere and proximity to local amenities.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, Chase has consistently been categorized as having low diversity, with the white population remaining the dominant racial group. The white population experienced a slight decline from 81% in 2013 to 75% in 2019, before increasing to 83% in 2022. The Hispanic community showed some growth, increasing from 13% in 2013 to 14% in 2015, but subsequently decreased to 12% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2019-2020, before declining to 2% in 2022.
The median income in Chase has shown an upward trend, increasing from $80,406 in 2013 to $88,057 in 2022, with some fluctuations. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $91,154. The income growth has outpaced inflation, suggesting real economic gains for residents over the decade. The population has grown from 11,111 in 2013 to 12,204 in 2022, indicating a steady attraction to the area.
The economic trends appear to have a loose correlation with demographic shifts. Periods of slightly increased diversity (2015-2019) saw steady income growth, while the return to a higher white majority in recent years coincided with the highest median income figures.
Chase's demographic profile contrasts with broader trends in California, which is known for its increasing diversity. While many urban and suburban areas in the state have been moving towards high diversity or majority-minority status, Chase has maintained its low diversity character.
The neighborhood's economic growth aligns with general trends in the Sacramento metro area, which has seen rising property values and incomes over the past decade. However, Chase's racial homogeneity is less typical for the region, particularly for a suburban area near a major city.
Chase has experienced minor demographic fluctuations and steady economic growth over the past decade, but has largely resisted the diversity trends seen in many comparable California communities. The neighborhood's ability to maintain its demographic character while experiencing economic growth suggests a stable, albeit not particularly diverse, suburban community.
