Culver City, California, experienced demographic changes between 2013 and 2022. The city transitioned from a "White Plurality" community to one of "Moderate Diversity." In 2013, the white population comprised 49% of residents, decreasing to 47% by 2022. Concurrently, the Asian population increased from 14% to 18%, and individuals identifying as two or more races grew from 3% to 7%.
The Hispanic population fluctuated between 23-24% for most of the decade before decreasing to 20% in 2022. The Black population remained consistent at 8-9% throughout this period. These shifts indicate an increase in diversity within Culver City.
Economically, Culver City demonstrated growth during this timeframe. The median income rose from $90,714 in 2013 to $100,685 in 2022, an 11% increase. A significant increase occurred between 2019 and 2021, with median income peaking at $115,392 in 2021 before moderating in 2022.
The demographic shifts in Culver City align with patterns observed in many urban areas of California, where increasing diversity often correlates with rising incomes. This is particularly evident in tech-oriented economies.
Based on observed trends, Culver City may continue to diversify. If current patterns persist, the city could transition into the "High Diversity" category within the next 5-10 years. This would occur if the Asian population continues to grow, the multiracial category expands further, and the white population declines below 40%.
Economically, Culver City is likely to maintain its prosperity. Median incomes may continue to rise, though potentially at a more moderate pace than the increases seen in 2020-2021.
These demographic and economic shifts may influence local culture, business landscapes, and housing markets as the city becomes increasingly diverse and affluent. City planners and policymakers may need to address challenges and opportunities associated with these transitions, including potential gentrification issues and the need for culturally diverse services and representation in local governance.
