As the community has become slightly more diverse, it has also become more affluent, suggesting that incoming residents from diverse backgrounds are likely to be in higher income brackets. The peak in median income in 2021 coincides with a slight increase in Asian and Black representation, potentially indicating high-earning professionals from these groups moving into the area.
Churchill Landing's changes align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the pace of change in Churchill Landing appears slower than national averages. The neighborhood's high median income and predominantly White population suggest it may be a desirable area for affluent families, potentially limiting rapid demographic shifts due to high housing costs.
The gradual population decrease, from 196 in 2013 to 137 in 2022, is notable and somewhat contrary to trends in many suburban areas. This could be due to factors such as an aging population, changes in family size, or limited new housing development in the area.
Churchill Landing remains a Low Diversity, predominantly White community, with early indications of a slow transition towards greater diversity. This change is occurring alongside economic growth, suggesting that the neighborhood is attracting affluent residents from diverse backgrounds. The pace of change is gradual, and it may take several more years before significant shifts in the community's demographic makeup become more pronounced.
