Over the past decade, Crown Pointe has maintained its status as a "Low Diversity" neighborhood. However, there are indications of a gradual shift towards increased diversity. The percentage of white residents has decreased from 92% in 2013 to 83% in 2022, suggesting a slow but steady trend towards greater racial diversity. This change indicates that Crown Pointe may be in the early stages of becoming a "Transitional Community."
The most significant changes have been in the Asian and Hispanic populations. The Asian population increased from 2% in 2013 to 5% in 2022, while the Hispanic population grew from 2% to 9% over the same period. The percentage of residents identifying as two or more races also increased from 1% to 3%. These shifts point towards a more diverse future for Crown Pointe.
As Crown Pointe has become slightly more diverse, it has also become more affluent. The median income has risen from $82,983 in 2013 to $90,949 in 2022, an increase of nearly 10%. This trend suggests that the neighborhood is attracting higher-income residents from diverse backgrounds. The population has fluctuated over this period, peaking in 2018 and then declining.
Crown Pointe remains less diverse than many urban areas in the United States. Its gradual diversification aligns with broader national trends of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in suburbs and traditionally homogeneous neighborhoods. The economic growth in Crown Pointe mirrors a national trend of income growth in high-end suburbs, although the rate of increase in Crown Pointe appears to be higher than the national average.
The increase in the Asian and Hispanic populations in Crown Pointe reflects broader demographic shifts occurring across the Midwest. Many Midwestern cities and suburbs have seen growth in these populations over the past decade, often driven by immigration and internal migration patterns.
Crown Pointe remains a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood, but shows early signs of transitioning towards greater diversity. This shift, coupled with rising incomes, suggests a changing landscape that may impact community cohesion and local policy-making in the coming years. Monitoring how these demographic and economic changes affect the character and dynamics of the neighborhood will be important as Crown Pointe continues to evolve.
