This demographic composition has shown minimal change over the past decade, with only slight variations in other racial groups.
From 2013 to 2022, Pleasant Hill has maintained its "Low Diversity" classification. The white population has consistently remained the racial majority, comprising over 89% of the total population. Minor shifts in minority representations have occurred. The Black population increased from 0% in 2013 to 1% in 2022, with a peak of 4% in 2020. The Hispanic population fluctuated between 1-4% over the decade. The population identifying as two or more races increased from 2% in 2013 to 3% in 2022.

The median income in Pleasant Hill has shown an upward trend over the past decade. In 2013, it was $67,365, rising to $77,975 in 2017, and reaching a peak of $90,709 in 2021, before slightly decreasing to $81,990 in 2022. This increase in median income correlates with a gradual population growth from 13,651 in 2013 to 15,035 in 2022. The economic growth may have contributed to the slight increase in diversity observed in the area.
The demographic trends in Pleasant Hill appear to diverge from national trends towards increasing diversity in many urban and suburban areas. The consistently high white majority and slow pace of diversification suggest that Pleasant Hill may be less affected by broader demographic shifts observed in many parts of the United States.
The economic growth in median income, particularly the significant increase between 2013 and 2021, indicates a prospering community. This economic success could be a factor in maintaining the demographic status quo, potentially attracting residents who are similar to the existing population.
In conclusion, Pleasant Hill has experienced notable economic growth over the past decade, while its racial demographics have remained relatively stable. It maintains its classification as a "Low Diversity" area with a strong white majority. The subtle increases in minority populations suggest the potential for a very gradual shift towards increased diversity in the future. However, as of 2022, these changes have not been substantial enough to alter the overall demographic character of the community.
