The neighborhood has maintained its status as a White majority community over the past decade, with the white population rarely falling below 75%. From 2013 to 2017, J.J. Pearce showed extremely low diversity, with the white population reaching 90% in 2017. A brief period of increased diversity occurred in 2018-2019, with the Black population rising to 12% and the Asian population to 10% in 2019. However, from 2020 to 2022, the community reverted to low diversity, with the white population exceeding 85% by 2022.
The median income in J.J. Pearce has shown an upward trend. From 2013 to 2017, income rose from $116,620 to $134,222. Between 2018 and 2020, income fluctuated but remained high, ranging from $128,270 to $132,283. In 2021, there was a significant increase to $157,477 before settling at $129,574 in 2022.
The economic trends suggest that the neighborhood's affluence has been a consistent factor, potentially influencing its ability to maintain its demographic composition despite brief periods of increased diversity.
The trends observed in J.J. Pearce contrast with broader national trends towards increasing diversity in suburban areas. While many U.S. suburbs have experienced significant demographic shifts over the past decade, J.J. Pearce has largely maintained its homogeneous character. This stability might be attributed to high property values and income levels, the neighborhood's reputation for excellent schools, and proximity to the University of Texas at Dallas.
J.J. Pearce presents a case of a suburban neighborhood that has largely resisted the national trend towards increased diversity. Its persistent White majority status, coupled with high and rising income levels, suggests a community that has maintained its socio-economic character despite brief fluctuations. This stability raises questions about the factors contributing to such demographic persistence in an era of increasing suburban diversity across the United States.
