The Granger neighborhood in National City, California, is characterized as a Majority-Minority community with a Hispanic Majority. As of 2022, the Hispanic population comprises 68% of the neighborhood. The area has experienced changes in its median income and population over the past decade. Granger's proximity to the Naval Base San Diego potentially influences its demographic composition and economic conditions.
Over the past decade, Granger has maintained its status as a Hispanic Majority community. From 2013 to 2022, the Hispanic population remained the dominant group, ranging from 69% to 76% of the total population. The Asian population has shown variability, ranging from 13% to 18% over the years. There is a minor trend towards increased diversity, with the "Two or More Races" category growing from 1% in 2013 to 3% in 2022. The White population has fluctuated between 6% and 10%, remaining a minority group throughout the decade.
The median income has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $47,296 in 2013 to $56,804 in 2022, representing a 20% growth over the decade. The population peaked at 6,390 in 2016 but has since declined to 4,641 in 2022. Periods of higher Hispanic concentration (2016-2018) coincided with lower median incomes, while recent years have seen a slight decrease in Hispanic percentage alongside an increase in median income.
The demographic makeup of Granger aligns with broader trends in Southern California, where many communities have significant Hispanic populations. However, the Hispanic majority in Granger is particularly pronounced compared to the overall San Diego County demographics. Despite population fluctuations, the steady increase in median income suggests economic resilience, possibly influenced by the stable presence of military-related employment in the area. While Granger maintains a Hispanic Majority, its gradual increase in diversity, particularly in the Asian and multiracial categories, reflects wider national trends of increasing diversity in urban areas.
Granger presents a case of a stable Hispanic Majority community experiencing subtle shifts towards increased diversity and economic growth. The neighborhood's proximity to Naval Base San Diego likely plays a significant role in shaping its demographic and economic landscape, contributing to its resilience and gradual evolution over the past decade.
