Over the past decade, Pinnacle Peak has maintained its "Low Diversity" status with a "White Majority." The white population decreased from 91% in 2013 to 88% in 2022. Hispanic representation increased from 3% in 2013 to 5% in 2022. Asian and Black populations remained stable at 2-3% and 1% respectively. These changes indicate a slow trend towards increased diversity.
The economic trajectory of Pinnacle Peak has been upward with some fluctuations. Median income increased from $119,400 in 2013 to $131,547 in 2022, a 10.2% increase. The population grew from 19,906 in 2013 to 23,621 in 2022, an 18.7% increase. This growth suggests Pinnacle Peak remains attractive for affluent residents, primarily those identifying as white.
Pinnacle Peak's demographic trends contrast with broader national patterns. The U.S. is becoming more diverse, with many urban areas trending towards "High Diversity" or "Majority-Minority" status, while Pinnacle Peak has maintained its homogeneous character. The neighborhood's median income is significantly higher than the national median, reflecting its status as an exclusive community. The slight increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader trends in Arizona and the Southwest, but at a slower rate than in more diverse urban areas.
Pinnacle Peak shows small signs of increasing diversity but remains a predominantly white, affluent enclave. The neighborhood's economic strength and steady population growth suggest its character as an exclusive community is likely to persist in the near future, even as it experiences incremental demographic changes.
