This neighborhood has maintained its low diversity status throughout the past decade, despite minor fluctuations in racial composition. Economically, Sprague-Manor is an affluent area, with a median income of $137,960 in 2022, higher than the national average. The neighborhood is known for its historic architecture, featuring many well-preserved colonial-era homes.
Throughout the 2013-2022 period, Sprague-Manor has consistently fallen under the low diversity category, with the white population comprising over 75% of residents. The white population percentage decreased from 87% in 2013 to 82% in 2022. The Hispanic population showed the most significant growth, increasing from 6% in 2013 to 9% in 2022. The Asian and Black populations remained relatively stable, with minor fluctuations over the decade.
The demographic shifts in Sprague-Manor correlate with economic growth. Median income rose from $98,005 in 2013 to $137,960 in 2022, an increase of about 41%. This economic growth coincided with the slight decrease in the white majority and increase in Hispanic population. The population remained relatively stable, growing from 2,978 in 2013 to 2,904 in 2022.
Sprague-Manor's demographic stability contrasts with national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The neighborhood's income growth outpaces national averages. The modest increase in Hispanic population aligns with broader national trends of growing Hispanic communities in many parts of the United States.
Sprague-Manor has maintained its status as a predominantly white, low-diversity neighborhood over the past decade. Subtle shifts towards increased diversity are evident. These changes, coupled with economic growth, suggest that the neighborhood is slowly evolving while maintaining its affluent character. The preservation of its historic architecture likely contributes to its appeal and may influence its demographic stability. The community may gradually transition towards moderate diversity in the coming years, though this process appears to be occurring at a measured pace.
