While the neighborhood is showing signs of increasing diversity, particularly with the growth in Hispanic and Native American populations, it is still less diverse than Colorado as a whole.
Columbine Meadows remains categorized as a Low Diversity, White Majority community. Recent trends suggest it may be transitioning to a more diverse demographic composition, particularly if the rapid growth in the Hispanic population continues. This evolution, coupled with steady economic growth, may reshape the neighborhood's character and community dynamics in the near future.
