Yorktown, a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is categorized as "Low Diversity" based on demographic data. As of 2022, 91% of the population identifies as white. The neighborhood is economically affluent, with a median income of $147,816 in 2022, which is higher than the national average. Yorktown is known for its historic district featuring architecture from the 1920s and 1930s, indicating its longstanding status as an upscale area in Tulsa.
Over the past decade, Yorktown has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification. From 2013 to 2017, there was a slight increase in diversity, with the white population decreasing from 90% to 83%. After 2017, this trend reversed, with the white population increasing to 91% by 2022. Small increases in Asian and Hispanic populations were observed, rising from 1% each in 2013 to 2% and 3% respectively in 2022. The "Two or More Races" category peaked at 11% in 2017 but decreased to 2% in 2022.
The demographic shifts correlate with economic changes in Yorktown. The median income rose from $133,953 in 2013 to $149,505 in 2016, coinciding with the period of slightly increasing diversity. A dip in median income to $136,999 occurred in 2018, aligning with the reversal of the diversity trend. Since 2018, the median income has increased, reaching $147,816 in 2022, paralleling the increase in white population percentage. The population has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately 1,130 and 1,270 residents throughout the decade.
Yorktown's demographic and economic trends differ from broader national patterns. While many urban areas in the United States have experienced increasing diversity over the past decade, Yorktown has maintained its low diversity status. The neighborhood's median income is substantially higher than the national median household income, which was approximately $70,784 in 2021. The stability of Yorktown's racial composition and high income levels suggest it may be a well-established, exclusive enclave within Tulsa, potentially resistant to broader demographic shifts observed in other urban areas.
Yorktown presents a case of a high-income, low-diversity neighborhood that has largely maintained its demographic character over the past decade, despite brief periods of subtle change. This stability in both racial composition and economic status distinguishes it from many urban neighborhoods experiencing more significant demographic shifts and economic fluctuations.
