Spring Valley, Nevada, is characterized as a "High Diversity" community as of 2022. No single racial group comprises more than 40% of the population, and at least three groups have significant representation (over 10% each). The city's median income reached $66,959 in 2022, indicating economic growth over the past decade.
Over the past decade, Spring Valley has maintained its status as a "High Diversity" community. The White population decreased from 43% in 2013 to 34% in 2022, losing its plurality status. The Hispanic population grew from 22% in 2013 to 28% in 2022, becoming the largest racial group. The Asian population remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 15-22% over the decade. The Black population slightly increased from 11% in 2013 to 12% in 2022.
The median income in Spring Valley increased from $49,111 in 2013 to $66,959 in 2022, a 36% increase over the decade. This economic growth coincided with the increasing diversity of the community. The population grew from 188,025 in 2013 to 220,707 in 2022, a 17% increase.
The trends observed in Spring Valley align with broader national patterns of increasing diversity in urban and suburban areas. The growth in median income outpaces the national average, suggesting that Spring Valley may be experiencing more rapid economic development than many other areas in the country.
Based on the observed trends, Spring Valley will likely continue to diversify. The community may transition from "High Diversity" to "Majority-Minority" in the near future if the White population continues to decrease and other racial groups continue to grow. Economically, further increases in median income can be expected if the current trend continues.
The community might be categorized as a "Transitional Community" in the coming years, especially if the growth in Hispanic and multiracial populations continues at its current pace. This transition could bring opportunities such as increased cultural vibrancy and economic diversity, as well as challenges that local policymakers will need to address.
Spring Valley represents a diverse and economically growing community that reflects broader national trends towards increased diversity and urban/suburban economic growth. Its evolution over the next decade will likely continue along these lines.
