Woodland Valley, a neighborhood in Arvada, Colorado, exhibits Low Diversity characteristics with a predominant white population of 77% as of 2022. The neighborhood has maintained a relatively stable racial composition over the past decade, though subtle shifts are observable. The median income in Woodland Valley was $97,167 in 2022, indicating an affluent community within the Denver metropolitan area.
Throughout the observed period (2013-2022), Woodland Valley has consistently fallen under the Low Diversity category, with the white population maintaining a significant majority. The white population has decreased from 84% in 2018 to 77% in 2022, remaining above the 75% threshold for Low Diversity. The Hispanic population has fluctuated between 13-24% over the decade. A notable change is the emergence of residents identifying as two or more races, increasing from 0% in 2019 to 6% in 2022.
The median income in Woodland Valley has shown significant fluctuations over the past decade. There was a sharp increase from $84,034 in 2018 to $112,272 in 2019, followed by a decline to $97,167 in 2022, which is still higher than most earlier years. These economic shifts do not appear to directly correlate with the subtle demographic changes. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 685 and 799 residents over the decade, with no clear trend aligning with either racial or economic shifts.
Woodland Valley maintains its Low Diversity status, despite many urban areas across the United States experiencing increased diversification over the past decade. The slow pace of change in this neighborhood might be atypical for a suburb of a major metropolitan area like Denver, which has generally seen increasing diversity. The median income of $97,167 in 2022 is significantly higher than the national median household income, indicating that Woodland Valley remains an affluent enclave. This economic status may contribute to its demographic stability, as high property values could limit accessibility for more diverse populations.
Woodland Valley shows signs of very gradual diversification but remains a predominantly white, affluent neighborhood. The subtle demographic shifts and income fluctuations suggest a community in the early stages of transition, but one that is moving at a much slower pace than many comparable urban and suburban areas across the United States.
