The median income in Creve Coeur has fluctuated but remained high. It peaked at $112,636 in 2021 before decreasing to $99,803 in 2022. The periods of highest median income (2015 and 2021) coincided with slight increases in diversity, particularly growth in the Asian population.
Creve Coeur's demographic shifts align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. The city's consistently high median income suggests it remains an attractive location for affluent residents, which may be slowing the pace of demographic change.
Based on observed trends, Creve Coeur will likely continue to slowly diversify. The white population may decrease to around 68-69% within the next 5-10 years, with continued growth in the Asian and Black populations. The community is likely to remain in the "Low Diversity" category in the near term but may approach a transition to "Moderate Diversity" in the longer term.
Economically, the city is likely to maintain its high median income, with possible fluctuations. The increasing diversity, particularly in the Asian population, may continue to correlate with periods of higher median income if it reflects an influx of high-skilled workers.
Creve Coeur is experiencing gradual demographic shifts but remains a predominantly white, affluent suburb. The slow pace of change suggests that major transitions in community dynamics are likely to occur over an extended period, barring significant economic or policy changes that could accelerate demographic shifts.
