Corinth Hills, a neighborhood in Prairie Village, Kansas, is classified as a "Low Diversity" area with a "White Majority." As of 2022, the white population comprises 90% of the area, with a median income of $122,921. This affluent suburb features well-maintained mid-century modern homes and tree-lined streets, reflecting its origins as a planned community developed after World War II.
Over the past decade, Corinth Hills has maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a "White Majority." However, subtle signs of a gradual shift towards increased diversity are evident. In 2013, the white population constituted 96% of the neighborhood, decreasing to 90% by 2022. The Hispanic population has shown the most significant growth, increasing from 2% in 2013 to 6% in 2022. Other racial groups, including Asian, Black, and multiracial residents, have also experienced slight increases, collectively rising from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022. These changes, while modest, suggest that Corinth Hills may be in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community" at a gradual pace.
The neighborhood has experienced notable economic growth alongside its subtle demographic shifts. Median income has increased from $106,600 in 2013 to $122,921 in 2022, a rise of approximately 15.3%. This income growth has outpaced inflation, indicating real economic gains for residents. The population has remained relatively stable, growing slightly from 2,629 in 2013 to 2,705 in 2022. The correlation between increasing diversity and rising median income suggests that the neighborhood is attracting affluent individuals from diverse backgrounds, potentially driven by factors such as good schools, proximity to urban amenities, and the area's reputation for quality of life.
Corinth Hills' pace of change is slower compared to national trends. The United States as a whole has been moving towards greater diversity more rapidly, with many suburban areas experiencing significant demographic shifts. However, the economic trajectory of Corinth Hills aligns with broader trends of increasing wealth concentration in affluent suburbs.
The neighborhood's high median income and predominantly white population reflect patterns seen in many established, high-end suburbs across the country. However, the gradual increase in diversity, particularly among Hispanic residents, mirrors broader demographic shifts occurring in many American suburbs, albeit at a slower pace in Corinth Hills.
Corinth Hills remains a "Low Diversity" area with a strong "White Majority," but subtle demographic shifts and consistent economic growth suggest a community in the early stages of transition. This gradual change, coupled with rising affluence, may lead to evolving community dynamics and potentially increased cultural diversity in local institutions and businesses over time. The challenge for Corinth Hills will be to maintain its character and high quality of life while embracing the benefits of increasing diversity.
