Lefko Hill, a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, demonstrates a low diversity demographic profile with a white majority of 70% in 2022. The neighborhood has experienced moderate population growth and significant income increases over the past decade. Lefko Hill also has a notable Native American presence, reflecting Oklahoma's indigenous heritage.
From 2013 to 2022, Lefko Hill maintained its low diversity status, with the white population consistently above 70%. The white population decreased from 76% in 2013 to 70% in 2022, indicating a slow diversification trend. The Asian population grew from non-existent to 5% by 2022. The Native American population fluctuated between 5-10%. The Hispanic population increased from 4% in 2013 to 7% in 2022. The multiracial category increased from 10% to 11%.
The neighborhood experienced significant economic growth. Median income increased from $51,101 in 2013 to $68,303 in 2022, a 33.7% increase. The highest median income was recorded in 2021 at $73,482. The population grew from 399 in 2013 to 446 in 2022, an 11.8% increase. The economic uplift correlates with the gradual diversification, suggesting that incoming diverse populations may be contributing to economic growth, or that the area's economic prosperity is attracting a more diverse population.
Lefko Hill's consistent Native American presence aligns with Oklahoma's significant statewide Native American population. The growth in Asian and Hispanic populations mirrors national trends of increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The substantial income growth in Lefko Hill outpaces national averages, suggesting localized economic factors or development initiatives may be at play.
Lefko Hill remains a predominantly white, low-diversity neighborhood, but shows signs of gradual diversification and significant economic growth. The interplay between these demographic and economic shifts suggests a neighborhood in transition, potentially moving towards a more diverse and prosperous future. However, the persistence of the low diversity categorization indicates that more substantial changes would be needed to significantly alter the neighborhood's demographic profile.
