The Reservation neighborhood in Richardson, Texas, is characterized as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. As of 2022, 94% of the population identifies as white, with a median income of $110,680. This affluent Dallas suburb is known for its proximity to the University of Texas at Dallas and quality schools.
Over the past decade, the Reservation neighborhood has maintained its status as a Low Diversity community with a White Majority. From 2013 to 2022, the white population has remained above 90%. Minor changes include growth in the Hispanic population from 0% in 2019 to 5% in 2022, a small Black population of 1-2% since 2015, and a consistent Asian population of around 1%.
The median income in the Reservation neighborhood has increased from $99,042 in 2013 to $110,680 in 2022, with a peak of $133,628 in 2021. This upward trend correlates with the neighborhood's status as a predominantly white, affluent area. The population has remained stable, fluctuating between about 1,900 and 2,100 residents over the decade.
The Reservation neighborhood's demographic composition and economic trends contrast with broader national and regional trends towards increasing diversity. The slow pace of change in this neighborhood suggests it may be somewhat insulated from these broader demographic shifts, possibly due to factors such as zoning regulations, established community networks, or high cost of entry for new residents.
The median household income in the Reservation ($110,680 in 2022) is significantly higher than the national median ($70,784 in 2021), indicating that this is a particularly affluent enclave. This economic status likely plays a role in maintaining the current demographic composition, as housing affordability can be a significant barrier to diversification in high-income areas.
The Reservation neighborhood shows early signs of potential transition towards greater diversity, but remains a predominantly white, high-income area with only gradual demographic changes. The correlation between its stable racial composition and consistently high median income suggests that economic factors play a significant role in shaping the community's demographic profile. Future monitoring of these subtle shifts in diversity and their interaction with the neighborhood's economic trajectory will be important.
