As of 2022, the white population constitutes 77% of the neighborhood, with a median income of $44,958.

From 2013 to 2022, Hayden maintained its status as a White Majority community. Between 2013 and 2016, the neighborhood showed signs of increasing diversity, with the white population decreasing from 81% to 72%. From 2017 to 2022, this trend reversed slightly, with the white population increasing to 77%. The Hispanic population fluctuated, peaking at 23% in 2015 before declining to 16% in 2022. The Black population remained relatively small, gradually increasing from 3% in 2013 to 7% in 2019, then declining to 2% in 2022.
The median income in Hayden has fluctuated over the years without a clear trend. The highest median income was recorded in 2016 at $48,363, coinciding with the period of increased diversity. Since then, there has been a slight overall decline in median income, reaching $44,958 in 2022. This decline correlates with the slight increase in the white population percentage and decrease in diversity.
The population growth of about 24% from 2010 to 2022 could indicate increasing attractiveness of the neighborhood, despite the slight income decline.
The demographic profile of Hayden, with its White Majority and relatively low diversity, is not uncommon for smaller neighborhoods in Midwestern cities. The fluctuations in diversity and income suggest that Hayden may be influenced by broader economic trends affecting the Midwest. The population growth in Hayden contrasts with many Midwestern cities that have experienced population decline, indicating that Elkhart, or at least this neighborhood, may have some economic or quality-of-life factors attracting new residents.
Hayden has maintained its status as a White Majority, Low Diversity neighborhood over the past decade, experiencing subtle demographic shifts and economic fluctuations. The neighborhood's growing population, despite slight income declines, suggests a complex interplay of factors affecting its development and attractiveness to residents.
