The persistent white majority in The Landings contrasts with trends towards increasing diversity in many urban areas. The income growth in the neighborhood likely outpaces national averages, suggesting The Landings is becoming increasingly affluent relative to other areas. The decrease in Hispanic population differs from trends in many parts of the US where Hispanic populations are growing. The emergence of a small but growing Asian and Pacific Islander population aligns with broader trends of increasing Asian representation in many US communities, particularly in university towns.
The Landings remains a predominantly white, low-diversity neighborhood, but subtle shifts towards increased diversity are evident. The economic growth and population increase suggest the area is becoming increasingly desirable, which may continue to influence its demographic composition. The neighborhood's proximity to Colorado State University likely plays a role in these dynamics, potentially attracting a more diverse student and faculty population over time.
