El Paso High neighborhood in El Paso, Texas, is a Hispanic Majority community with a median income of $40,278 as of 2022. The neighborhood has maintained its Hispanic Majority status throughout the analyzed period, exhibiting Low Diversity in terms of racial composition. El Paso High is known for its historic architecture and is home to El Paso High School, one of the oldest operating high schools in Texas.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, El Paso High has consistently maintained its status as a Hispanic Majority neighborhood, with the Hispanic population comprising between 86% to 91% of the total population. This stability in racial composition indicates a strong, established Hispanic community. There have been minor fluctuations in other racial groups, but none significant enough to alter the overall demographic category.
The White population has remained the second largest group, ranging from 8-12% throughout the decade. Other racial groups, including Asian, Black, and multiracial populations, have maintained very small percentages, generally below 1% each.
The neighborhood has experienced significant economic growth over the analyzed period. The median income has increased from $15,434 in 2013 to $40,278 in 2022, representing a 161% increase over nine years. This substantial growth in median income suggests improving economic conditions for residents.
The population has remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from 2,950 in 2013 to 2,919 in 2022. This stability in population coupled with rising incomes might indicate gentrification or overall economic improvement within the existing community rather than an influx of new, higher-income residents.
The persistent Hispanic Majority in El Paso High aligns with broader demographic trends in El Paso and the Texas-Mexico border region. El Paso as a whole is known for its strong Hispanic heritage and culture.
The significant increase in median income in El Paso High is noteworthy, especially when compared to national trends. While the U.S. as a whole has seen income growth over this period, the rate of increase in El Paso High appears to be higher than the national average. This could indicate targeted economic development efforts or changing economic opportunities in the area.
Despite this growth, the 2022 median income of $40,278 is still below the national median household income, which was around $70,784 in 2021. This suggests that while El Paso High has made significant economic strides, there is still room for further economic development and growth.
El Paso High presents a picture of a stable Hispanic Majority community experiencing significant economic improvement while maintaining its demographic character. The neighborhood's ability to increase median incomes without major population shifts suggests internal economic development, potentially benefiting long-term residents. However, the persistence of Low Diversity and the still-below-national-average income levels indicate ongoing challenges and opportunities for further inclusive growth and development.
