The neighborhood's population grew from 170 in 2013 to 195 in 2022, suggesting a steady increase in the area's attractiveness.

This suggests that the incoming diverse population likely matches the existing socioeconomic profile of the neighborhood.
The growth in population and maintenance of high median income aligns with broader national trends of suburban growth and affluence. The gradual increase in Hispanic population, while maintaining a strong white majority, reflects a slower pace of diversification compared to national trends, where many suburbs are experiencing more rapid demographic shifts. The stability of median income over the decade suggests economic resilience in Liberty Hills West.
Liberty Hills West presents a picture of a stable, affluent, predominantly white suburban neighborhood that is experiencing very gradual diversification, primarily through growth in its Hispanic population. The area's economic profile has remained robust throughout the decade, indicating its continued appeal as a residential choice for higher-income households. While the pace of change is slow, the consistent, if minimal, increase in diversity suggests that Liberty Hills West may be at the early stages of a long-term demographic transition.
