Eagle Rock, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, exhibits a Moderate Diversity demographic profile with a Hispanic plurality. As of 2022, the neighborhood has a population of 31,440 and a median income of $93,345. Eagle Rock is known for its arts scene and is home to Occidental College.
Over the past decade, Eagle Rock has maintained its status as a Moderate Diversity community, with shifts in its racial composition. In 2013, the neighborhood had a Hispanic plurality (41%) with significant Asian (26%) and White (28%) populations. By 2022, while still maintaining a Hispanic plurality (37%), there was a slight decrease in the Hispanic population and increases in the Asian (23%) and White (32%) populations.
The most significant change has been the growth in the Two or More Races category, from 2% in 2013 to 6% in 2022, indicating a trend towards a more mixed-race community. This shift suggests Eagle Rock may be moving towards High Diversity status in the future if current trends continue.
The median income in Eagle Rock has increased from $79,980 in 2013 to $93,345 in 2022, a growth of about 16.7%. This increase correlates with the slight decrease in the Hispanic population and increases in Asian and White populations, potentially indicating a gentrification process.
The population has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase from 30,183 in 2013 to 31,440 in 2022. This stability, combined with increasing incomes, suggests that while the neighborhood is becoming more affluent, it is not experiencing rapid population growth or displacement.
The demographic shifts in Eagle Rock reflect broader trends seen in many urban areas across the United States, where increasing diversity and rising incomes often coincide. The growth in the Two or More Races category reflects national trends of increasing multiracial identification.
The income growth in Eagle Rock outpaces the national average, which saw about a 10% increase in median household income over a similar period. This above-average growth suggests that Eagle Rock is becoming an increasingly desirable neighborhood within Los Angeles.
The stability of the Hispanic plurality, despite some decrease, indicates that Eagle Rock has maintained much of its cultural character even as it experiences economic changes. This balance between demographic stability and economic growth is not always common in gentrifying urban areas.
Eagle Rock presents a case of gradual demographic and economic evolution. While it remains a Moderate Diversity community with a Hispanic plurality, it shows signs of moving towards High Diversity status. The neighborhood's economic growth, coupled with its stable population and gradual demographic shifts, indicates a community in transition that has thus far avoided rapid displacement often associated with gentrification.
