The neighborhood experienced economic fluctuations correlating with its demographic shifts. From 2013 to 2017, median income dropped from $58,116 to $50,168, coinciding with a period of population decline. From 2018 to 2022, income steadily increased from $56,180 to $62,726, aligning with population stabilization and slight increases in minority representation. The initial economic decline may have contributed to resident outmigration, potentially affecting racial composition. The subsequent economic recovery could be attracting a more diverse population, albeit slowly.
Del Oro Groves' subtle shift towards increased diversity aligns with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban areas. However, the pace of change is slower than many other U.S. suburbs, which have seen more rapid diversification over the past decade. The neighborhood's economic recovery in recent years mirrors national trends of post-recession growth, but the initial decline from 2013-2017 was more pronounced than the national average. This suggests local factors, such as changes in the job market or housing costs, may have played a significant role in the area's demographic and economic shifts.
Del Oro Groves Homeowners Association remains a Low Diversity, White Majority community. Subtle shifts in its demographic makeup and economic status over the past decade indicate potential for gradual change. The community's ability to attract and retain a more diverse population while maintaining economic growth will be crucial in determining its future demographic profile and overall socio-economic health.
