White Oak has transitioned from "Low Diversity" to "Moderate Diversity" over the past decade. In 2013, the white population constituted 86% of the community, decreasing to 67% by 2022. This change indicates a significant shift towards greater diversity.
The Hispanic population has shown the most substantial growth, increasing from 9% in 2013 to 17% in 2022. The emergence of a significant "Two or More Races" category (9% in 2022, up from 0% in 2013) suggests that White Oak is becoming a "Transitional Community." The Black population has also grown modestly, from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2022, contributing to the overall diversification.
The median income has fluctuated over the decade but shows an overall upward trend. In 2013, the median income was $68,160, reaching $64,774 by 2022. There was a notable spike in 2021 to $87,049 before returning to levels more consistent with previous years.
The population has shown a slight decline over the decade, from 5,331 in 2013 to 4,594 in 2022. This decline, coupled with increasing diversity, suggests potential shifts in the local economy and job market that may be influencing both demographics and income levels.
The demographic shifts observed in White Oak align with broader national trends of increasing diversity in suburban and rural areas. The growth in Hispanic population and multiracial identification is consistent with patterns seen across many parts of the United States.
The economic fluctuations, particularly the income spike in 2021 followed by a return to previous levels, may reflect broader economic trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery efforts. The overall income levels remain relatively stable, suggesting a degree of economic resilience in the face of demographic changes.
White Oak is experiencing a gradual but significant transition from a predominantly white, low-diversity community to one with moderate diversity and an increasing Hispanic and multiracial presence. These demographic shifts, coupled with relatively stable economic indicators, suggest a community in transition that is adapting to changing social and economic landscapes while maintaining a degree of economic stability.
