Over the past decade, Fairbrooke has maintained a low diversity categorization. From 2013 to 2016, the neighborhood showed signs of moderate diversity, with the Hispanic population reaching 17-22%.

The sharp decline in median income in 2020 likely reflects broader economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The trend towards increased white majority in recent years contrasts with national trends of increasing diversity, suggesting Fairbrooke may be experiencing unique local factors.
Fairbrooke has maintained a low diversity categorization throughout the decade, experiencing subtle demographic shifts and significant economic changes. The neighborhood's proximity to Colorado State University may be a stabilizing factor in its racial composition, while potentially contributing to economic volatility due to the transient nature of student populations. The recent trend of increasing white majority coupled with decreasing median income presents a contrast that may warrant further investigation into local economic and housing factors.
