The Crestline Area in Fort Worth, Texas, is characterized by low diversity with a strong White Majority. As of 2022, 90% of the population identifies as white, with a median income of $152,586. This affluent neighborhood has experienced significant economic growth over the past decade, potentially influencing its demographic composition. The Crestline Area is located near the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge.
Throughout the analyzed period (2013-2022), the Crestline Area has consistently maintained its status as a Low Diversity, White Majority neighborhood. The white population has remained above 90% for most years, with only slight fluctuations. The Hispanic population has shown a slight increase from 5% in 2013 to 5% in 2022, with some fluctuations in between. The Black population has grown to 2% by 2022. The Asian population has appeared in the data from 2021 onward at 1%. These changes suggest a very gradual shift towards slightly increased diversity, though the area remains firmly in the Low Diversity category.
The median income in the Crestline Area has shown significant growth and volatility over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, the median income increased from $118,932 to $152,586, a growth of about 28%. There were notable fluctuations, with a peak of $147,953 in 2019, followed by a decline to $111,370 in 2020, and then a recovery by 2022. This economic growth and resilience may have reinforced the area's attractiveness to high-income residents, potentially contributing to the maintenance of its demographic composition.
The Crestline Area appears to be resisting the trend of increasing diversity observed in many urban and suburban areas. This contrasts with broader patterns in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, which has been experiencing significant demographic shifts towards greater diversity.
The median household income in the United States was about $70,784 in 2021, making the Crestline Area's 2021 median of $126,380 nearly 80% higher than the national average. This income disparity likely contributes to the area's demographic stability and low diversity, as high property values may create economic barriers to entry for more diverse populations.
The resilience of the area's economy during the 2020 downturn and its quick recovery suggest that this neighborhood may be somewhat insulated from broader economic trends, potentially due to the nature of residents' employment or wealth accumulation.
The Crestline Area shows very gradual signs of increasing diversity, but remains a predominantly white, high-income enclave. The correlation between its rising median income and persistent low diversity suggests that economic factors play a significant role in maintaining its demographic composition, potentially limiting opportunities for more substantial diversification in the near future.
