The Stockton Metropolitan Airport neighborhood in Stockton, California, is characterized as a Racial Majority community with a Hispanic population of 68% as of 2022. The area has experienced moderate population growth, increasing from approximately 20,000 residents in 2010 to over 24,000 in 2022. The neighborhood's median income was $44,001 in 2022, showing fluctuations over recent years. The presence of Stockton Metropolitan Airport suggests the neighborhood's importance in regional transportation and economic infrastructure.
Throughout the period from 2013 to 2022, the neighborhood has consistently maintained its status as a Hispanic Racial Majority community. The Hispanic population has remained relatively stable, ranging from 66% to 69% of the total population. This stability indicates a well-established Hispanic community in the area. Minor shifts in racial composition have occurred, with the Asian population decreasing slightly from 6% in 2013 to 4% in 2022, the Black population fluctuating between 13% and 16%, and the White population modestly increasing from 8% in 2013 to 11% in 2022.
The neighborhood's median income has shown notable fluctuations, increasing from $41,236 in 2013 to a peak of $48,608 in 2021, before dropping to $44,001 in 2022. These economic changes do not appear to strongly correlate with the relatively stable racial demographics. The income fluctuations may reflect broader economic trends or local economic factors, possibly related to the airport's operations or regional economic conditions. Population growth has been steady, increasing by about 21% from 2013 to 2022, suggesting the neighborhood remains attractive to residents.
The Hispanic Racial Majority in this neighborhood is more pronounced than in many other parts of California or the United States as a whole. The median income of $44,001 in 2022 is likely below both California and national averages, suggesting this is a working-class neighborhood. The steady population growth in this neighborhood contrasts with many urban areas that have seen population declines, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The presence of the airport likely provides some economic stability to the area, which may explain the relatively steady demographic composition despite income fluctuations.
The Stockton Metropolitan Airport neighborhood presents as a stable Hispanic Racial Majority community with modest economic challenges. While it has not undergone dramatic demographic shifts, the subtle changes in non-Hispanic populations and the fluctuations in median income suggest a dynamic community adapting to broader economic trends. The neighborhood's growth and stability, likely bolstered by its proximity to a major transportation hub, indicate resilience in the face of economic variability.
