The Industrial Corridor neighborhood in Eugene, Oregon exhibits a low diversity demographic profile with a significant White majority. In 2022, the neighborhood population was 5,864 with a median income of $68,575. The area likely contains a mixture of industrial facilities and residential zones, potentially influencing its demographic and economic characteristics.
From 2013 to 2022, the Industrial Corridor maintained a low diversity categorization, with the White population remaining above 75% for most years. The White population decreased from 87% in 2013 to 79% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 4% in 2013 to 12% in 2022. The Two or More Races category increased from 2% to 4%. These changes indicate a trend towards a more diverse community.
The median income in the Industrial Corridor demonstrated overall growth with fluctuations. From 2013 to 2019, median income increased from $56,975 to $74,091. In 2020, income decreased to $67,398, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By 2022, income recovered to $68,575. The period of income growth from 2013-2019 coincided with the gradual increase in Hispanic population and decrease in White population.
The trend of increasing diversity in the Industrial Corridor aligns with broader national trends of growing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The income growth observed until 2019 was likely consistent with national economic trends of recovery and growth following the 2008 recession. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on income in 2020 is consistent with nationwide economic disruptions during that period.
The Industrial Corridor remains a predominantly White, low-diversity area, but shows signs of gradual demographic shifts towards increased diversity. These changes, combined with overall positive economic trends despite recent challenges, suggest a neighborhood in slow transition. The interaction between its industrial character, demographic evolution, and economic fluctuations will likely continue to shape its development in the future.
