San Diego, California, has a population of 1,381,182 as of 2022. It is categorized as a "Moderate Diversity" community. The racial composition consists of White (40%), Hispanic (30%), and Asian (18%). The city's median household income was $100,010 in 2022.
Over the past decade, San Diego has maintained its "Moderate Diversity" status. The White population decreased from 43% in 2013 to 40% in 2022. The Asian population increased from 17% in 2013 to 18% in 2022. The Hispanic population remained stable at around 30%. The "Two or More Races" category increased from 3% in 2013 to 6% in 2022.
San Diego experienced significant economic growth over the past decade. Median household income increased from $63,456 in 2013 to $100,010 in 2022, a 57.6% increase. This income growth coincides with the slight increase in Asian population and growth in multiracial residents.
San Diego's population growth has slowed and slightly declined from its peak in 2018.
San Diego is likely to continue its trajectory towards increased diversity. The consistent growth in the multiracial population and slight increases in Asian representation suggest that San Diego might be moving towards a "Transitional Community" status.
Economically, if current trends persist, continued income growth is expected. However, the slight population decline in recent years may indicate emerging challenges, possibly related to housing affordability or changing work patterns post-pandemic.
In the coming years, San Diego might transition into a "High Diversity" category if current trends accelerate, particularly if the White population continues to decrease and other groups, especially the multiracial category, continue to grow. This transition could bring opportunities and challenges, potentially fostering innovation and cultural richness while necessitating policies to ensure equitable economic participation across all demographic groups.
