The area's demographic composition includes White (39%), Hispanic (29%), Black (15%), and Asian (12%) populations.

Over the past decade, this zip code has transitioned from a White Majority community to its current state of Moderate Diversity with a White Plurality. The White population decreased from 49% in 2013 to 39% in 2022. The Hispanic population increased from 24% to 29%, and the Asian population grew from 10% to 12% during the same period. The Black population remained relatively stable between 13% and 16%.
This demographic shift categorizes the area as a Transitional Community, evidenced by the growth of the Hispanic population and an increase in individuals identifying as two or more races, from 1% in 2013 to 4% in 2022.
The increasing diversity has coincided with fluctuations in median income. The area experienced a peak median income of $105,453 in 2017, followed by a decline to $93,071 in 2022. This trend may indicate that demographic shifts are part of broader socioeconomic changes in the area.
The population has remained relatively stable, growing from 69,280 in 2013 to 71,230 in 2022, with some fluctuations. This stability, combined with demographic shifts, suggests a gradual turnover in the population rather than rapid growth or decline.
The demographic trends in this zip code align with patterns observed in many American suburbs, where increasing diversity is becoming common. The transition from a White Majority to a more diverse community reflects national trends of growing minority populations and increased racial integration in suburban areas.
Economic fluctuations, particularly the recent decline in median income, could be related to national economic factors. However, the area's median income remains above the national average, suggesting it continues to be a relatively affluent suburb despite these changes.
The increasing Hispanic population is consistent with trends seen across Texas and many parts of the United States. The growth in the multi-racial category aligns with national trends of increasing racial complexity and interracial families.
Zip code 77095 exemplifies a suburban community in transition, moving from a predominantly White area to one of Moderate Diversity. This shift, coupled with economic fluctuations, suggests a dynamic community adapting to changing demographics while maintaining a relatively high standard of living.
