The income growth in Hidden River outpaces national trends, where median household income grew by about 10% between 2013 and 2021 (adjusted for inflation). The persistence of a White Majority in Hidden River contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity, particularly in suburban areas. The rapid population growth suggests that Hidden River may be part of a broader trend of suburban expansion in the Denver metropolitan area.
Hidden River remains a White Majority, Low Diversity community, but subtle shifts towards greater diversity are occurring alongside significant economic growth. The neighborhood appears to be attracting affluent minorities, particularly Asian and Hispanic professionals, while maintaining its character as an exclusive, high-income suburb. These trends suggest that Hidden River is slowly transitioning, potentially moving towards Moderate Diversity in the future if current trends continue, while simultaneously becoming increasingly affluent.
